The New York Giants have significantly bolstered their defensive line, ranking third in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus. With the addition of key players like Abdul Carter and Darius Alexander, their defensive front is gaining recognition as a formidable unit. The Giants have improved dramatically from their previous season, where they ranked 26th against the run. Featuring stars like Dexter Lawrence, whose PFF grade was impressive even during an injury-shortened season, the Giants are poised to disrupt opposing offenses.

General manager Joe Schoen's strategic moves in recent drafts, including selecting Kayvon Thibodeaux and trading for Brian Burns, have positioned the team well. This revamped defense not only aims for a better ranking but is also critical for the Giants' success in the upcoming season. As they prepare for a competitive schedule, the focus will be on how effectively these changes translate into wins.
