If there’s anything to take away from 2019 for the New York Giants, it’s former head coach Pat Shurmur, and GM Dave Gettleman planned on featuring six rookies on defense.
Of the 11 players that regularly start on both sides of the ball, all six rookies played or were slated to earn significant reps before injury.
The New York Giants defensive draft picks from 2019:
- Dexter Lawrence
- DeAndre Baker
- Oshane Ximines
- Julian Love
- Ryan Connelly
- Corey Ballentine
Right off the bat, Lawrence and Baker were two starting players who played the majority of the season.
