Linebacker Takes On New Role with Giants
Former Tar Heel Star Signs with New York Giants
Former University of North Carolina standout linebacker Jason Strowbridge has signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants. The 23-year-old Strowbridge was a key member of the Tar Heels' defense during his four years in Chapel Hill, starting 36 games and recording 259 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks.
Strowbridge is expected to compete for a starting role at middle linebacker with the Giants. He will be joining a defense that finished 22nd in the NFL in points allowed last season.
Strowbridge is a versatile linebacker who can play both inside and outside. He is a good tackler and has a good understanding of the game. He is also a good athlete and has the speed and agility to cover running backs and tight ends.
The Giants are hoping that Strowbridge can be a key contributor on defense this season. He has the potential to be a good player in the NFL, and he could be a valuable addition to the Giants' defense.
