McKinney and Winfield have been used in a variety of roles, although Winfield has played more free safety and less in the box than McKInney has. He will always be compared to 2020 classmate Antoine Winfield Jr., whose 91.2 led the NFL and who is probably headed for a big payday this offseason: Courtesy of Pro Football Focus McKinney has had a frustrating Giants career, missing most of his rookie year and half of his third year due to his ATV misadventure. The Giants other elite defensive player in 2023 was Xavier McKinney, whose 87.8 overall PFF grade was his highest ever and fourth best among NFL safeties. Lawrence’s 92.6 pass rush grade also led all IDLs. His pressure rate has more than doubled that of his first three seasons. He was good there, but with Patterson’s teaching and strategic switch of him to the A-gap, he has exploded. Lawrence had previously played primarily in the B-gap and sometimes over tackle. Patterson moved Lawrence to the 0-technique position: Courtesy of Pro Football Focus This happened because Brian Daboll lured Andre Patterson away from Minnesota to coach the IDLs. His 93.0 season grade was two full points higher than any interior defensive linemen, and second only to Myles Garrett’s 93.6 among all defensive players. These are the season grades for every Giants defensive player who saw at least 100 snaps: Courtesy of Pro Football Focus
