Defensive Line

  • BJ Hill
  • Dalvin Tomlinson
  • Dexter Lawrence
  • Kareem Martin
  • RJ McIntosh
  • John Jenkins
  • Olsen Pierre
  • Chris Slayton
  • Markus Golden

The Giants will have a good rotation on the interior at defensive tackle with guys like Tomlinson, Lawrence, Jenkins, Pierre, and Slayton. Lawrence, especially, is a first-round pick who was mainly a run-stuffer in college but has the potential to be a better interior pass rusher in the NFL. The Giants will likely struggle to create pressure off the edge in 2019 with the group of Hill, Martin, McIntosh, and Golden at defensive end. All play the run better than they are able to get after the quarterback.
