Three Giants project to be top 50 pass rushers

Ahead of their 2026 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, expectations are rising for the New York Giants' defense, which boasts three pass rushers forecasted to rank among the league's top 50. New York enters the campaign highlighted as a top-ten pass-rushing unit intent on bringing intense pressure against opposing quarterback Dak Prescott.

Despite stumbling to a 4-13 record during 2025, the squad is generating considerable momentum as a potential sleeper playoff contender behind an offense led by their second-year quarterback and the addition of fullback Patrick Ricard.

J. Reader brought in to replace Dexter Lawrence, sparking worries about the viability of the run defense.

Head coach John Harbaugh will look to steady those concerns and change the dynamic of the divisional series with Dallas immediately as the new season gets underway.
