New York Giants: Top News 5/27 – Rookie linebacker could secure starting job

I have a feeling we are going to see some rookies emerge as starters in 2019, one of which is linebacker Ryan Connelly. He can be a great player for the New York Giants and replace B.J. Goodson, the oft-injured linebacker that has flashed potential at times.

Connelly is a quick defender that has immense natural instincts. Watching his film, you can see how quickly he diagnoses plays and shoots the gap, he just needs to work on finishing tackles and getting a bit stronger.

There’s a handful of times in each game where Ryan Connelly runs full speed like a nerd with a too heavy back pack and usually causes chaos for the offense pic.
