The New York Giants’ defensive line should be stronger than it was last season due to the signings of Rakeem Nunez-Roches and A’Shawn Robinson to go along with Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams. However, there is a fifth spot along the line up for grabs, with many bodies but not a lot of proven experience. Vernon Butler is one of the players fighting for that remaining roster spot.
