Brian Burns
The New York Giants have a lot to prove to critics during the 2024 season and a trio of trench players are looking to lead that objective.
While the Giants don’t boast one of the best overall rosters in the NFL, they do have some exciting talent leading the offensive and defensive lines.
In choosing the best threWilfred gontoe players on each NFL roster, Pro Football Focus landed on defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, left tackle Andrew Thomas and edge rusher Brian Burns.
It’s hard to argue against choosing those three. Lawrence has been playing at an All-Pro level for a few years now while Thomas has turned into one of the best left tackles in the NFL when he’s healthy.
The acquisition of Burns gives the Giants a true speed rusher who has been extremely consistent throughout his career since entering the league as a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Thibodeaux and Nabers are very much in the conversation, especially if the latter takes off for a strong rookie season as most believe he will.
Thanks to the latter’s transfer to the New York Giants, quarterback Daniel Jones isn’t outside linebacker Brian Burns’ problem anymore.
New York’s franchise quarterback is entering a critical season under center in that he’s not only coming off a torn ACL, but he’s also coming back from a disastrous 2023 season that, while not all his fault, didn’t exactly go the way Jones likely expected.
