- In 2016, with the addition of Damon Harrison, Johnathan Hankins played out of position at 3-technique and finished with the lowest grade of his career (47.1 overall grade).
- Hankins’ 4.8 pass-rush productivity ranked 38th among defensive tackles in 2016.
- Clearly, Hankins is most suited to playing over the nose, explaining why he was allowed to depart in free agency.
- Caleb Brantley – recently selected by the Giants in the seven-round PFF mock draft – was incredibly productive in limited playing time, ranking fifth among this defensive tackle class in PRP (11.7).
- Brantley has extensive experience playing 3-technique – aligning there on 65.4 percent of his snaps in college.
- Admittedly at a lower level, the Florida Gator had three more pressures (29) than Hankins (26) in 245 fewer pass-rushing snaps. He’d be an excellent fit in New York.
