Now, they are set to meet the day after the 20th anniversary of that tragic moment in our nation’s history. It will certainly be an emotional game for the players, coaches and everyone in attendance. Additionally, this matchup will mark the first time fans have been allowed to attend a regular-season game at MetLife since the end of the 2019 season.

Add that to him being a stout run defender, very durable and possessing great character, and he should be in high demand. He won NFC Defensive Player of the Week twice last year. $$$$$
