Okereke is the staple that holds the Giants' defense together.
One of Joe Schoen's best moves in his three years as general manager of the New York Giants was signing linebacker Bobby Okereke ahead of the 2023 season.
In 2022, the Giants rolled with the Crowder, Austin Calitro, Smith, and then-rookie Micah McFadden for the season. It was painfully obvious to everyone watching that the inside linebacker position was one of the top needs of the 2023 offseason. Schoen signed Okereke to a four-year deal for $40 million with $21.8 million guaranteed.
"Here's another off-ball linebacker who could have been on last year's Pro Bowl squad. Okereke generated 149 tackles, 2.5 sacks, six QB hits, four forced fumbles 10 passes defended, and two INTs. Along with Dexter Lawrence, he was the lifeblood of the Giants D. Okereke was also one of the best linebackers in man coverage in the entire NFL, able to run with tight ends and backs.
Can he replicate the success this year? The Giants now have a new defensive coordinator in Shane Bowen, who has a much different system than Wink Martindale. Okereke raved about playing in Bowen's system so far and sounds excited to take on a different role.
