New York Giants 2022 Training Camp Roster Preview: ILB T.J. Brunson
Linebacker T.J. Brunson is a South Carolina native who had the opportunity to play his high school and college ball right where he grew up. Before becoming a Gamecock, he went to high school in Columbia at Richland Northeast High School, where he became known as a tackling machine.
By the time he graduated, ESPN had ranked him as the 22nd best player in the state. At South Carolina, he amassed 271 tackles in his final three seasons. He also garnered the respect of his teammates and coaches as a team leader. He was named a team captain for his last two years.
The Giants selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 draft, and he appeared in five games as a rookie. He missed the 2021 season due to a torn ACL injury suffered in the year's first preseason game.
