Javon Solomon compared well to Osi Umenyiora at Troy, can he do that in the NFL?

NFL teams will take pass rush help wherever they can get it. The New York Giants, 20th in the NFL in pressure percentage in 2023 despite being second in blitz rate, can use a significant infusion of pass rush help in 2024.

Could they turn to a place that produced one of the greatest pass rushers in franchise history to find it?

Javon Solomon is an under-sized edge defender from Troy, which produced Osi Umenyiora. After being drafted in the second round by the Giants in 2003, Umenyiora had 75 sacks for the Giants, fourth in franchise history.
