Nobody expected former Arizona Cardinal and current New York Giants outside linebacker, Markus Golden, would shine in his comeback season after a significant injury stunted his progression.
At just 28-years-old, Golden is finally coming into his own, and once again, it’s with defensive coordinator James Bettcher calling the plays. The defender has racked up an impressive 5.0 sacks this season, already ranking second in his career — the most coming in 2016, his second season in the NFL, under Bettcher (12.5).
He has been stellar for Big Blue this season, making him the most influential free agent signing this season.
