Ben McAdoo dodged the question a bit when asked whether B.J. Goodson is the team’s starting middle linebacker. In truth, he didn’t really have to answer that one.
Goodson has taken virtually every first-team snap with the defense since they showed up for offseason training in April and has shown no signs of backing down from the challenge put in front of him. The Giants handed him the keys to their defense and off he went.
Besides, if anyone is going to name Goodson the starter, it might as well be Goodson.
That’s the kind of take-charge player he has become.
