Adderley’s lesser-known sidekick, Tenny Adewusi, will also get a chance in the NFL with the New York Giants. Adewusi signed with the Giants after rookie mini-camp.Let’s get to know a little about Adewusi as we continue profiling the 90 players the Giants will bring to training camp.The basicsHeight: 5-foot-11Weight: 199Age: 22Position: SafetyExperience: 0How he got hereThe Nigernian-born Adewusi didn’t start for Delaware, an FCS school, until his senior season. He had been a reserve defensive back and special teams player. As a senior, he compiled 38 tackles (31 solo) and had seven passes defended.Adewusi is one of seven Blue Hens players who will have a shot at making an NFL roster this fall.Adewusi drew attention with a strong showing at the Delaware Pro Day.He went to Giants’ rookie mini-camp as a tryout player and did enough during those three days to earn a longer look from the team this summer.2019 outlook Adewusi begins his Giants’ career with a mountain to climb. Including Sam Beal, the Giants have four first-year draft picks in their secondary.The starting safeties are Jabrill Peppers and Antoine Bethea. Second-year man Sean Chandler and veteran Michael Thomas are backups. The Giants have spoken about fourth-round pick Julian Love eventually becoming a free safety, and they used him there some in rookie mini-camp. Sixth-round pick Corey Ballentine also has some free safety experience.Adewusi, though, has beaten the odds to get this far. Perhaps he can do so again. In this review, we look at the Giants defensive line, which excludes the edge rushers who during 4-3 alignments, would put their hand in the dirt. 2018 review2018 roster: Kerry Wynn Andrew Adams Color Rush Jersey , R.J. McIntosh, John Jenkins, Dalvin Tomlinson, B.J. Hill, Josh Mauro, Mario Edwards Jr.General manager Dave Gettleman caused more than a few eyebrows to raise when the team announced it had traded nose tackle and run-stopper extraordinaire Damon Harrison to the Detroit Lions for a fifth-round pick.Gettleman’s reason, as revealed in his year-end press conference, was that the team had a pair of younger players, Dalvin Tomlinson and B.J. Hill, who were playing out of position while Harrison was with the team, an occurrence that was fixed after the run stuffer was traded.With Harrison gone, there was some concern that the Giants run defense would take a hit. At first, this seemed to be true, but by season’s end, the difference in the average net rushing yardage allowed with and without Harrison came down to just 8.25 yards (113.9 yards per game with Harrison and 122.3 without him).2018 Position ReviewsPosition review: Offensive line remains a work in progress for GiantsAt wide receiver, Odell Beckham’s comeback Wayne Gallman Color Rush Jersey , search for a No. 3 were top Giants’ storiesAt tight end, using Evan Engram better a key for GiantsRunning back review: Can Giants avoid turning Saquon Barkley into Barry Sanders?Giants position review: Quarterback — a future with or without Eli Manning?Position review: Giants have decisions to make with EDGE rushersGiants position review: Special teams were a bright spotPosition review: Giants D-line talent is promising, but thinPosition Review: Giants cornerbacks at a crossroadSecond-year man Tomlinson appeared to still be growing into his new role once Harrison was traded, but by year’s end, he seemed to settle down somewhat in his new role.Meanwhile Hill surprised some with his athleticism, especially on the pass rush. Hill held the team lead in sacks until the final game of the season, recording 5.5 sacks until edge rusher Olivier Vernon passed him, to finish with 7.0 for the team lead.The most underrated star of the defensive line though was Wynn, who per Pro Football Focus, finished with a team-best 12.1 percent run-stop percentage.Wynn demonstrated that he became a complete defensive lineman, recording a career-high 21 total pressures and matching his career-high in run stops (20) set in 2015.His other stats included three tackles for a loss, two quarterback hits, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles.Wynn also finished fourth on special teams with eight total tackles (four solo). Lastly, Mario Edwards, who was a post-training camp waiver wire pickup — he was presumably added to provide depth once Josh Mauro began his four-week league-imposed suspension — showed some flash here and there as both a run stopper and a pass rusher. Edwards recorded 2.0 sacks and 5 quarterback hits, generating 11 total pressures.2019 look aheadThe Giants have a good nucleus here with Tomlinson Jon Halapio Color Rush Jersey , Hill and McIntosh, but they need to add more to this unit. Gettleman himself has pointed to other teams who are seven or eight men deep on the defensive line, something that the Giants really didn’t have this year. With a deep draft class on the horizon, look for the Giants to fill in at this position both via the draft and free agency.Wynn, Mauro, Jenkins and Edwards are all scheduled to be free agents; of those, the most likely to be offered a deal to return are Wynn and Edwards, both of whom played well in their snaps. Wynn, however, is probably going to draw a nice little market for himself, so his return isn’t necessarily a slam dunk.The good news is that this year’s draft class is said to be very deep in defensive line help, particularly along the interior, which just so happens to be a spot where the Giants can use another force to pair with Hill, who showed some surprising pass rush ability as a rookie.
