Position preview: Is defensive line still Giants’ best position group?

At the end of the 2020 season, the defensive line was the strongest position on the New York Giants’ roster. Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Dalvin Tomlinson, and B.J. Hill were a quartet of size and pain for opposing offenses - with Jaden’s beautiful disruption as the musical number.

Tomlinson signed with the Vikings in free agency, and Hill was traded to the Bengals for Billy Price. The shoes of these two players are big to fill, literally and figuratively. However, the Giants signed Danny Shelton, a true mountain of a man at 6-foot-2, 345 pounds.
