Giants’ linebacker corps could be formidable in 2023

One position the New York Giants have had difficulty addressing in recent years is linebacker. Despite former general manager Dave Gettleman signing Blake Martinez and drafting a few late-round prospects, the position has not been adequately resolved for some time. However, it was such a glaring weakness in 2022 that GM Joe Schoen decided it must be prioritized in free agency.

Big Blue went out and acquired one of the best linebackers on the market, Bobby Okereke, from the Indianapolis Colts. In last year’s draft, Schoen selected Darrian Beavers from Cincinnati and Micah McFadden from Indiana.
