One underrated New York Giants defender showed up in 2020

Error 0:

The New York Giants and GM Dave Gettleman have prioritized the building of the defensive line in recent years. Yet their run-stopping grades were below-averaging, ranking 20th in the league, even after trading for Leonard Williams. The unit was even worse against the pass, ranking 28th in the NFL.

However, those rankings ignore individual performances and the quality some players brought. One of the more underrated interior defensive linemen was Dalvin Tomlinson, who emerged as a silver lining in the lost season.

PFF stated:

Dalvin Tomlinson is the Giants highest-graded player on defense for 2019 with a 78.
