One New York Giants breakout candidate at the linebacker position

The New York Giants allocated the majority of their draft capital toward the pass rush unit, secondary, and adding more weapons for Daniel Jones in the receiving game.

The one position they avoided in free agency and the draft was linebacker, where they feel secure with Blake Martinez. Alongside him, they might find themselves with some struggles in 2021.

Last season, Martinez played in all 16 games, despite dealing with a few injuries as the season progressed. The 26-year-old posted 151 combined tackles, nine tackles for a loss, six QB hits, and 3.0 sacks. He logged the lowest missed tackle rate of his entire career at 6.
