NFC East franchise New York Giants may not be on the level of the Green Bay Packers or Seattle Seahawks at the moment. Head coach Joe Judge and assistant Jason Garrett are under immense pressure after yet another disappointing start to the season. The Giants are still winless after three games with quarterback Daniel Jones as their starter.

Fans were hopeful that 2021 will be a different season as compared to the years before with the return of star running back, Saquon Barkley.
However, the Giants sit at the bottom of their division after three consecutive losses to Denver Broncos, Washington Football Team, and Atlanta Falcons, respectively.

New York Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari has three sacks in the first three games of the season. He is the first rookie to play for the Giants who’s ever accomplished that feat. Not only that but also Ojulari has eight pressures in his debut year.
“I’m just doing whatever they want me to do. Playing my heart (out), playing my best, playing my heart out (out) there. Just whatever comes to me, make the plays that come my way. I’m just trying to do what I’ve got to do and do my part.”
“Tae came in, Tae is prepared. Everyone gets the coaching, so we’re all prepared for the moment if someone goes down, the next man has to step up. We’ve just got to stay together as a defense. Going back to the training we’ve been doing, relying on the training we’ve been doing this whole time, so everyone is going to be prepared. The next man is prepared and ready to go,” Ojulari said on Monday as per GiantsWire.

All eyes will be on Ojualri and his teammates as the Giants gear up for a tough showdown against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. Another loss and surely coach Judge might be put on the hot seat early on in the season.
Regardless, Ojulari will be eyeing the ROTY award. Watch this space for more.
