3.) Leonard Williams

Believe it or not, Leonard Williams doubled his sack totals in just one week compared to 2019. He had a solid game, dominating the guards on the interior of the defensive line and racking up five total tackles and two quarterback hits. He earned his money against the Steelers and proved that he can be an impact player for the Giants moving forward. There’s a long season ahead, and he oftentimes disappears in specific games, but if he can continue his positive momentum, the Giants might’ve found themselves a long-term solution on the defensive front.

Check out this highlight, where he completely dominates his assignment, getting the underneath grip and driving him back right into Big Ben. He records his first sack of 2020 here and does so in vintage Leonard style.
