"Wilson had spent the past two seasons as the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans his finest showing coming in 2024 when his unit ranked second in the NF with 311.2 total yards allowed per game. They also ranked fourth in the league with an average of 177.3 passing yards allowed, both of which were the organization's best marks in 25 years."
"He now takes over a defense that has significant pieces to build on, despite the Giants having won seven games over the last two seasons. Big Blue has one of the most imposing group of pass rushers in the game, headlined by Brian Burns, who ranked second in the NFL in sacks in 2025, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and rookie phenom Abdul Carter. The defensive line is anchored by Dexter Lawrence, who is one of the best interior linemen in the game."
Dennard Wilson is the new defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. He served as Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator the past two seasons, with his 2024 unit ranking second in the NF with 311.2 total yards allowed per game and fourth in passing at 177.3 yards, both the organization's best in 25 years. Wilson worked on John Harbaugh's Baltimore staff in 2023 and previously coached defensive backs for the Eagles and Jets. The Giants possess a dominant pass rush led by Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and rookie Abdul Carter, and a strong interior presence in Dexter Lawrence. Wilson's priority is rebuilding a shallow secondary and fixing a run defense that allowed 2,470 yards in 2025.
