The NY Giants’ 2020 NFL Draft class could take major steps forward, with the potential to produce several breakout stars in 2021

Following an offseason that saw the NY Giants emerge as one of the NFL’s biggest spenders in free agency, there is reason for optimism that 2021 will be the year New York breaks its four-year NFL postseason drought with a roster in place to compete for the NFC East crown.

The additions of Kenny Golladay, Adoree’ Jackson, Kyle Rudolph, and return of defensive lineman Leonard Williams, in addition to a 2020 NFL Draft class that could feature as many as four Week 1 starters when the 2021 NFL season begins in September is reason enough to raise expectations for the NY Giants.
