The New York Giants have struggled at the linebacker position for the past few years, but they may have found a solution in rookie Ryan Connelly out of Wisconsin.
The four-year linebacker in college enters the NFL as a fifth-round pick with light expectations on his shoulders. However, he is already making waves around Giants camp and during the preseason which elevated his status and made him a potential starter for the 2019 season.
He has seemingly developed very quickly during training camp, likely because he’s facing off against one of the NFL’s top running backs, Saquon Barkley.
