Graham Gano - Plays in 10 games in 2024 Gano finished the regular season having gone 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-15 on extra-point tries over 10 contests.

Impact For the second consecutive season, Gano missed a significant chunk of time, in this case due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 9. When he was healthy enough to play, the veteran placekicker was pretty accurate -- of his two field-goal misses, one was was blocked, and he converted both of his attempts from 50-plus yards -- though New York's tepid offense limited his opportunities. Gano should resume kicking duties for the Giants next season, when he'll be in the second year of the three-year contract extension he signed last September.

D.J. Davidson - Posts best season to date Davidson (shoulder) ended the 2024 campaign with 23 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with two recovered fumbles.

Impact Davidson played just 14 more defensive snaps than in 2023, but he ended up with almost twice as many stops. Both of his sacks on the season came in a Week 5 win over Seattle. Davidson ended the campaign on IR due to a shoulder injury, but he should be ready for training camp ahead of the 2025 season. He'll likely provide defensive-line depth for New York again next year in what will be the final season of his rookie contract.

Adoree' Jackson - Reverts to rotational role in 2024 Jackson played in 14 games (five starts) during the regular season, tallying 28 tackles (18 solo), five defensed passes and one forced fumble.

Impact After spending the first three years of his Giants tenure as a starter, Jackson didn't get his first start of 2024 until Week 12. Overall, his 28 stops marked his lowest total in a season with the exception of 2020, when he was limited to just three games due to injury. Jackson signed a one-year contract with New York last August, and with the Giants opting to go mostly with younger cornerbacks last season, it seems likely that the veteran will depart for another organization in free agency.

Kayvon Thibodeaux - Takes step back in third campaign Thibodeaux ended the 2024 regular season with 28 tackles (14 solo), including 5.5 sacks, along with two defensed passes and one forced fumble over 12 games (all starts).

Impact After leaping forward with 11.5 sacks in his sophomore season in 2023, Thibodeaux didn't reach even half that total in 2024. Part of that was due to a wrist injury that cost him five games prior to New York's Week 11 bye, but it's also worth noting that 2.5 of the Oregon product's sacks came in the Giants' final two contests when the team was already out of postseason contention. Thibodeaux may still be a big part of New York's future, but the organization may opt to exercise his fifth-year option in the offseason rather than focus on negotiating an extension.

Dexter Lawrence II - Logs career-best sack total in 2024 Lawrence (elbow) tallied 44 tackles (23 solo), including 9.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 12 games (all starts) during the regular season.

Impact Lawrence missed the final five games of the campaign due to a dislocated elbow, but prior to the injury he was putting together another dominant season. Among other things, the big defensive tackle registered a career-best 9.0 sacks, all of which came in New York's first seven games. Lawrence is signed through the 2027 campaign and should be healthy by the start of next season, when he'll be looked to as the heart of the Giants' defense once again.

Rakeem Nunez-Roches - Posts career-best tackle total Nunez-Roches ended the 2024 regular season with 52 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes over 15 games (all starts).

Impact Nunez-Roches missed two games late in the campaign due to a neck/shoulder issue, but he still blew away his previous career-best mark of 33 stops. The veteran defensive lineman's 2.0 sacks also matched a career high, and his 585 defensive snaps were the most he's logged in his 10-season professional career. He's been far from spectacular since joining the Giants ahead of the 2023 campaign, but Nunez-Roches is signed through 2025, so he should be back with New York next year and will likely fill a similar role.

Deonte Banks - Mixed results in second season Banks totaled 52 tackles (39 solo) along with 12 defensed passes and one forced fumble in 14 games (all starts) during the 2024 campaign.

Impact Banks missed three games late in the season due to an injury to his ribs, but he started all 14 games for which he was active. His tackle total was slightly lower than the amount he logged (64) during his rookie 2023 campaign, but Banks did increase his number of defensed passes by one, and his total of 12 paced the Giants and tied for 18th in the NFL. Banks had some struggles during the campaign and was benched for the second half of Week 8 against Pittsburgh due to a perceived lack of effort, but the Giants invested a lot in him as a first-round selection in the 2023 draft, and he'll likely be back in a starting role in 2025, when he'll be in the third year of his rookie contract.

Cor'Dale Flott - Has career-best season in 2024 Flott posted 53 tackles (36 solo) and seven pass defenses, including one interception, in 14 games (10 starts) during the 2024 campaign.

Impact Flott registered the highest numbers of his career in multiple categories, including tackles and defensed passes. Uncoincidentally, he also played the most defensive snaps (637) of his three-year professional career. Flott did give way as a starter to Adoree' Jackson for two games late in the season, but Flott was still on the field for about half of New York's defensive snaps during those contests. Jackson will be a free agent at the conclusion of the season and is unlikely to return to New York, giving Flott -- who will be in the final year of his rookie contract -- a good chance of handling a starting role again next year unless the Giants decide to upgrade at the cornerback position.

Darius Muasau - Ends first campaign on high note Muasau closed the 2024 regular season with 55 tackles (26 solo) and one interception over 15 games (seven starts).

Impact Muasau was called upon to start in Week 1 when Micah McFadden was unable to suit up. Muasau impressed with six tackles and a pickoff in that contest, but with McFadden returning for Week 2, the UCLA product transitioned to a rotational role. Muasau ended up starting six of the Giants' final seven games, though, as both McFadden and Bobby Okereke dealt with injuries, and during that span the rookie recorded eight or more stops four times. McFadden and Okereke are under contract for next season and should be back to full health, so it's unclear how much opportunity Muasau will get out the gate.

Dane Belton - Shows improvement in third season Belton recorded 56 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six pass defenses (one of which was an interception) and a forced fumble over 17 games (six starts) during the...

Impact Belton began the season as a backup but ultimately made six starts, including the final four contests of the campaign. His tackle and defensed passes totals were career-high marks. Belton lost out to rookie Tyler Nubin on a chance for a starting role coming out of training camp, and he moved into the starting lineup at the conclusion of the campaign only when Nubin's season came to an early end due to an ankle injury. With that said, Belton did make positive strides when he got opportunities. Nubin was a standout as a rookie and should be healthy by the beginning of training camp, but Belton -- who will be in the final year of his rookie contract -- could be given an opportunity to earn a starting role opposite him if Jason Pinnock departs in free agency.

Dru Phillips - Flashes talent in rookie campaign Phillips finished the 2024 regular season with 71 tackles (46 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with an interception and two forced fumbles over 14 games (six starts).

Impact After being selected by New York in the third round of April's NFL Draft, Phillips opened eyes as a rookie, finishing fifth on the team in tackles. His biggest performance came in Week 2, when he logged a career-high 12 stops, including his first pro sack. Phillips missed a game early in the campaign due to a calf issue and two later in the season because of a calf injury, but he was overall a consistent contributor from the slot, finishing with at least four tackles in each of his final six games. Phillips showed enough as a rookie to remain a key part of the Giants' defense next season.

Brian Burns - Has 8.5 sacks in first year with NY Burns tallied 71 tackles, including 8.5 sacks, along with eight defensed passes and two forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games with the Giants in 2024.

Impact The Giants made a big splash when they traded for Burns in March and subsequently signed him to a five-year, $141 million contract. Though the team struggled to a 3-14 record, Burns proved to be a valuable addition, starting in all 17 of New York's contests and finishing second on the team with 8.5 sacks. The Florida State product also finished second on the Giants with eight pass defenses, which doubled the previous career-high total he established in both 2020 and 2021. Finally, Burns recorded a career-best 71 stops, buoying his IDP value in games when he wasn't able to take down the opposing quarterback. With four years left on his deal, Burns should remain a key part of New York's pass rush for the foreseeable future.
