Last season, the New York Giants’ defense took a massive step forward in efficiency and production. Going from the 30th ranked defense in points allowed per game to the 9th in 2020, an unexpected rise to adequacy was welcomed by the fan base and coaching staff. However, the Giants decided they didn’t want just a good defense, they wanted a great defense.
Instead of letting the unit stagnate and simply retain the same players, the Giants added more sufficient talent, including Cornerback Adoree Jackson and pass rusher Azeez Ojulari.
The one position that has experienced a major transformation is the CB unit, thanks to the signing of James Bradberry in 2020 as a free agent.
