The New York Giants are in the midst of one of the worst seasons in franchise history, and with the team already eliminated from the postseason, there isn’t much to look forward to the rest of the way.

One of the most common themes that made the Giants worse was the success of former players with their new teams.

On Sunday, that trend continued as Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams scored the first touchdown of his career with a 92-yard pick-6 against the New York Jets, where he spent the first four seasons of his career before he was transferred to the Giants.

Williams added 2.0 sacks and three tackles for a loss in the game.

Williams’ big day underscores the impression that the former Giants are having success with their new teams – especially with the team’s two biggest free agent departures, Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney.

The Big Cat, of course, was acquired from the Jets back in 2019 by former general manager Dave Gettleman and spent about four years with Big Blue before being traded to the Seahawks in late October of last season.

Williams had his best season with the Giants in 2019, recording 11.5 sacks per year, and served as a team captain in 2022 and 2023.

The 290-pound veteran’s 92-yard dash on Sunday was the longest by a defensive lineman in NFL history. The ironic thing about Williams’ touchdown is that the Giants haven’t recorded an interception in 11 straight games, which is an NFL record.

Williams also now has more interceptions than the entire Giants secondary.
