The Giants will have to be careful to avoid putting too much on Reese too soon and force him to wear too many hats. However, he showed an aptitude for processing a significant amount of information in [Ohio State University’s] defense, so he might be able to handle more than the average rookie.
Reese’s length, athleticism, processing, strength, and spatial awareness all give him a very high upside as an off-ball linebacker. His upside as a blitzer should allow a dangerous Giants’ pass rush to be even more fearsome, even as he needs to hone his game in that area… it’ll be absolutely fascinating to see how a coach with as diverse a background as Dennard Wilson uses Reese.
