3 Knicks players that would shine in the NFL for the Giants or Jets

1: Julius Randle

The Knicks fanbase has mixed opinions about Julius Randle. Some are desperately waiting for the notification that he’s been traded, and then there are the ones who believe that he will have a bounce-back season in 2022-23. Regardless of what you may think, there’s no arguing that out of all the players on New York’s roster, he’d be the one to perform the best in the NFL.

Randle’s no stranger to bully ball, and he’d be able to carry that same energy over to MetLife on defense.

Picture Randle plowing through opposing teams’ offensive lines in the same way that he does to opposing players in the paint. Maybe the same Knicks fans that have booed Randle at MSG would do the opposite in East Rutherford. If Randle had been drafted by the Giants or Jets in 2014 instead of the Lakers, perhaps he’d be known now as a defensive star in the NFL.

Randle’s listed at 250 pounds, but based on the photos/videos of him from the offseason, he looks like a completely different player than he was last year. Hopefully, instead of being a terror to NFL offenses, he’ll be able to remind Knicks fans why he was voted as an All-Star a season ago.

Kick back and enjoy the first NFL Sunday of the 2022 season, Knicks fans, but in a little over five weeks, it’ll finally be time to watch New York take on Memphis in the 2022-23 season opener.
