With the future of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul up in the air, New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is no doubt going to be looking for young leaders who can step up on this defense to become cornerstones for the future.
One such young player who has shown himself to have a world of potential is second-year linebacker Devon Kennard, one of New York’s two fifth-round draft picks last year.
Kennard comes from a solid football pedigree. He is the son of former NFL offensive lineman Derek Kennard, who was part of the Super Bowl XXX champion Dallas Cowboys.
