Giants' Bobby Okereke: Set to anchor Giants defense

Okereke enters the 2024 campaign as New York's defensive anchor after leading the team with 149 tackles (including 2.5 sacks) last season while also recording four forced fumbles and 10 defensed passes (including two interceptions).

After four years with Indianapolis, Okereke joined the Giants ahead of last season and shined in his first campaign in New York. He recorded career-best marks in sacks, pass defenses and forced fumbles while finishing two tackles shy of his career-high total in that category. Okereke surprisingly didn't make the Pro Bowl and didn't earn an All-Pro selection, though NFL.com writer Kevin Patra named him as the Giants' "unsung hero." Okereke is set to lead New York's linebacker corps again in 2024 and is a solid IDP option after averaging 150 tackles over the past two seasons.
