The New York Giants’ defense is loaded with former Georgia Bulldogs.

Linebackers Tae Crowder, Azeez Ojulari and Lorenzo Carter all see significant time for the Giants each week and all have continued to produce this season for the New York defense.

On Sunday, the Giants hosted the Panthers and held Carolina to just 3 points in a 25-3 win.

Crowder led the team in tackles with six, Ojulari had a massive game with 2.5 sacks and Carter recorded four stops of his own.

Ojulari in particular got Giants fans talking with his big performance. The rookie linebacker was everywhere and now has 5.5 sacks on the season.

Giants fans on Twitter are loving what they’re seeing from the former Bulldog.

Ojulari came to UGA in 2018. That season he redshirted, seeing time against Middle Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Texas in the Sugar Bowl. In 2019, Ojulari made his name heard. He played in every game — starting 13 — and had 33 total tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, a team-best 5.5 sacks and a team-high 34 quarterback pressures. He was the co-winner of the Defensive Most Improved player at the team’s postseason awards gala.

In 2020 at UGA, he had the best season of his career. In 10 games, Ojulari had 31 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks (led SEC), 2 pass deflections, 1 fumble recovery and 4 forced fumbles. That is one of the best defensive performances that Georgia has seen in one season.
