Riley

26 years old

Wynn's numbers are very weak for as much as he's played. Riley started all 16 games for the Giants last year, posting 75 tackles, 4 INT's and 5 passes defensed. It'd be interesting to see how PFF graded his performance. Fwiw, the Giants were 23rd in pass defense last year, but held opponents to a 89.8 passer rating, which was 10th best among defenses.

They also picked off 16 passes, which ranked 7th. Obviously Riley played a role in that with his 4 picks.

Wynn's really not bad; a solid run-game guy, but doesn't offer much as a pass rusher; a Geathers/Copeland/MJ type as a BACKUP only, wouldn't be a bad thing. Curry was like that too, but an even better pass rusher (more like a Dingleberry-type).

And to be fair, he saw VERY few snaps; only a couple of hundred a year, 300+ tops. If he was starting all 16 games with those numbers, then that is just awful; NTs in a 3-4 put up better numbers.
