C. . . . Avery Moss

Moss has appeared in four games with the Giants as a situational pass rusher. In his short playing time he has three tackles, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble.

While Moss has gotten a sack, look for his playing time to increase over the final half of the season as the Giants will likely use that time to evaluate their young talent.

The Giants defense has always been built not only around their pass rushing ends, but their depth at the position to rotate pass rushers into the game. Even if he doesn’t start, Moss is showing the Giants he could be a rotational guy that can help them in pass rushing situations and give the starters a rest.

If Olivier Vernon or Jason Pierre-Paul were to miss time, Moss has put himself in the position to fill-in for them as the likely replacement starter.
