3 quick questions about NY Giants’ DT D.J. Reader with Pride of Detroit
We learn more about what Reader brings to new York from someone who watched him the past two seasons.
D. J. Reader | Getty Images The New York Giants completed the offsesason transformation of their defensive front seven with the signing on Tuesday of veteran nose tackle D.
J. Reader . A 10-year veteran, Reader spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions.
So, we turned to Jeremy Reisman of SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit to find out a little bit more about what Reader brings to the Giants. Ed: The PFF and PFSN scores make it seem as though Reader did not play as well for the Lions as he did at earlier stops in his career. Is that correct?
Jeremy: I think it can be a little hard to trust PFF grades of a primary run-stopping NT. I think Reader is still pretty productive in that role specifically, but if you’re hoping for some extra juice in the pass rush game, I’m not sure he has much left in the tank there. Ed: Were the Lions interested in keeping him?
