A'Shawn Robinson - Tallies 62 tackles in 2023 Robinson finished the campaign with 62 tackles (34 solo) and two defensed passes over 17 games.
Impact Robinson's 62 stops marked the second-highest single-season total of his career, and he didn't miss a game for the second time in the past three seasons. His playing time picked up after New York traded Leonard Williams to Seattle at the end of October, and Robinson registered eight tackles -- a season-high mark -- in each of the Giants' two games following their Week 13 bye. The contract he signed to come to New York last April was a one-year deal; he probably won't carry a hefty price tag in free agency, though the Giants could decide to move on in favor of younger talent.

Kayvon Thibodeaux - Posts 11.5 sacks in second season Thibodeaux finished the 2023 campaign with 50 tackles (26 solo), including 11.5 sacks, and added four pass defenses along with three forced fumbles over 17 games.
Impact The Giants selected Thibodeaux fifth overall in the 2022 Draft with the hope that he'd develop into an elite pass rusher. Though he showed promising flashes in his rookie campaign, the Oregon product tallied just 4.0 sacks, but he boosted that number to a much more fantasy-friendly 11.5 sacks -- tied for 12th most in the league -- in Year 2. Thibodeaux still has plenty of room to grow, as the sacks dried up over the final four games of the season and his overall missed-tackle rate increased in comparison to the previous campaign. Still, with two years remaining on his rookie contract, there's little doubt that Thibodeaux is a key piece of the Giants' future plans.

Gary Brightwell - Ends season on IR Brightwell (hamstring) played in seven games during the regular season, rushing nine times for 19 yards and adding five catches on seven targets for 47 yards.
Impact Most of Brightwell's work came on special teams, though he did get four carries in both Week 3 and Week 4 while Saquon Barkley was out with an injury. Brightwell didn't do much with those opportunities, and he had only one carry over his other five contests combined. The third-year pro's campaign came to a halt after suffering an ankle injury that eventually landed him on IR, and though he was designated to return ahead of Week 16, New York didn't end up activating him. The Giants' running-back room is in flux heading into the offseason, with Barkley and veteran Matt Breida set to be free agents. Brightwell, 2023 rookie Eric Gray and Jashaun Corbin are New York's three RBs currently under contract for next year, with Gray the most likely of the three to take on a lead-back role if Barkley doesn't return and the team doesn't add a starting-caliber replacement.

Sterling Shepard - Likely to be finished in NY Shepard ended the regular season with 10 catches on 22 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown over 15 games. He added a six-yard rush and a 10-yard punt return.
Impact Shepard was able to stay healthy this season after playing in just 10 contests over the previous two campaigns due to an Achilles tear and a torn ACL. However, he was relegated to a role near the back of New York's receiver depth chart and played fewer than one-third of the team's offensive snaps in all but one of his 15 appearances. The Giants seemed to acknowledge that the campaign would be his swan song with the franchise, allowing him to be the final player out of the tunnel for pregame introductions during the season finale and focusing on getting him three catches in that game so that he could move into the fifth spot all-time in receptions for the franchise. It remains to be seen if Shepard will seek to continue playing with another franchise or call it a career.

Isaiah Hodgins - Falls back to depth role in 2023 Hodgins finished the regular season with 21 catches on 33 targets for 230 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games.
Impact After ascending to a role near the front of New York's wide-receiver room during a strong finish to the 2022 campaign, Hodgins came into this season slated to be one of the team's top wideouts. However, he struggled to make an impact, topping out at four catches and 40 yards (both in Week 2 against Arizona). By Week 4, Hodgins had been surpassed on the depth chart by other options, and he logged less than half of the team's offensive snaps in six of his final seven contests. The Giants' paltry passing game had a part to play in Hodgins' decreased output, but it was also evident that the wideout isn't likely to be a difference-maker in an NFL offense. Hodgins is set to be a restricted free agent, and it's far from a certainty that he'll be tendered.

Dennis Houston - Inks reserve/future deal with G-Men The Giants signed Houston to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Impact Houston had an excellent senior season for Western Illinois in 2022, recording 1,015 yards and six touchdowns on 90 catches and adding 63 yards and two scores on five carries. The wideout's lone NFL regular-season action to date came in 2022, when he caught two passes on six targets for 16 yards over two games with Dallas. Houston spent most of last season on the Giants' practice squad and was elevated in Week 17 but didn't see any action. With the reserve/future contract, he'll have a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.

Deon Jackson - Remaining in New York Jackson signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Monday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jackson made appearances with the Colts and Browns this season, before ultimately finding his way to the Giants. The Duke product ended up totaling four appearances on the year, with 14 carries for 16 yards and five catches on six targets for 14 more yards through the air. He'll now have an opportunity to carve out a bigger role next season in New York.
