As the New York Giants begin to transition to a linebacker heavy approach, third-year man, B.J. Goodson, will be expected to take a major leap forward on the defense. His ability as an inside linebacker is apparent, but injuries have plagued his career.
In week one of the 2017 season, Goodson finished the game against the Dallas Cowboys with 18 total tackles. After suffering an injury, he was forced out until week four and again from week seven to 12. Consistently staying on the field has been a struggle for the young defender, but he will look to change that narrative in the season ahead.
