The New York Giants have one linebacker pushing Ryan Connelly for starting job

The New York Giants signed David Mayo do a three-year extension this off-season, with the goal that he could push Ryan Connelly for a starting job on defense. However, another low-key player has quietly made an impact during practice.

With the Giants enjoying their first week of padded practices, getting a more in-depth look at some of their younger, unproven players, has opened some eyes to potential roster changes.

Head coach Joe Judge made sure to enter the training camp portion of the off-season with a focus on competition. He stated that every player had to earn their spot on the roster, specifically starters.
