Giants 2025 Position Breakdown: Micah McFadden primed for breakout season

Giants 2025 Position Breakdown: Micah McFadden primed for breakout season

Our Summary

The New York Giants are aiming to improve in the 2025 season after a disappointing 3-14 finish in 2024, placing pressure on GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. The team is focusing on strengthening their linebacker position, particularly the duo of Bobby Okereke and rising star Micah McFadden. Despite Okereke's injury setbacks in 2024, he remains a vital veteran presence, while McFadden, who amassed over 100 tackles in consecutive seasons, is poised for a potential breakout year during his contract season. With depth concerns behind the starters, Darius Muasau's performance in preseason could see him challenge for more playing time. The Giants' success largely hinges on the health and performance of Okereke and McFadden, with hopes that McFadden can solidify his status as a key defensive player and secure a long-term contract.
