After one season, Bobby Okereke rose above the pack as a fantastic free-agent signing.
He did not miss a single snap on defense, led the team with 149 tackles and hit career highs with six quarterback hits and 2.5 sacks.
Plus, he is a legitimate leader.
Ohio State linebacker Tommy Eichenberg works out during the NFL scouting combine. Adam Cairns/Columbus DispatchA tag-team partner for Okereke was found with the emergence of Micah McFadden in his second season.
He has a nose for the ball and makes plays.
Darrian Beavers is back for another year removed from knee surgery and Carter Coughlin was brought back, mostly for his work on special teams.
This does not figure to be an area of intense interest for the Giants.
Maybe developmental prospects such as Tommy Eichenberg (Ohio State) or Marist Liufau (Notre Dame) will attract attention for their special teams potential.
