The Giants' defensive coordinator, Dennard Wilson, has noted that Arvell Reese's versatility gives him the opportunity to deploy unique pass rush strategies. The Giants' Abdul Carter is an edge rusher, but was converted from linebacker at Penn State and some of his best snaps in his rookie season were as a standup, blitzing linebacker. This flexibility allows him to play alongside edge rushers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, either in a rotation or all at once. The challenge is to use each player in a position that maximizes his skill set. The team needs to continue to hone Reese as a true pass rusher, while starting him at weak side linebacker for 2026.
