There was a bounce in his step and a smile on his face when New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen arrived at the podium on Thursday to meet with the media.
Who can blame him? Bowen has lots of new toys to play with this season. He presides over a defense that added edge defender Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, along with defensive tackle Darius Alexander in Round 3. In free agency, cornerback Paulson Adebo, safety Jevon Holland, defensive end Chauncey Golston and a variety of other depth pieces were also added.
