The unexpected success of the New York Giants has been a pleasant surprise this season.
Despite a roster with plenty of holes that is handcuffed by lack of salary cap space and with a brand new coaching staff, the Giants are playing meaningful football in December.
Big Blue currently has six of their players in the top-10 voting at their respected positions for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games.
Updated Giants in the top 10 in Pro Bowl fan voting at their positions:
• Saquon Barkley: #1 RB
• Andrew Thomas: #4 OT
• Dexter Lawrence: #10 DT
• Julian Love: #8 SS
• Graham Gano: #7 K
• Nick McCloud: #3 ST— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) December 7, 2022
Saquon Barkley has put together quite the Comeback Player of the Year campaign after being riddled by injury over the last three years. He has been a catalyst to the Giants’ success and despite recent struggles, his early-season success has propelled him to get the most votes at the running back position.
Saquon Barkley leads all running backs in Pro Bowl voting with 122,295. Looks destined for his second career Pro Bowl selection.

Both Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence have had their best season in the NFL and it wouldn’t be a surprise if both got All-Pro consideration.
Julian Love has clearly stepped up his game and his ability to make big tackles in big spots has certainly been noticed this season.
Since last week, the voting ranks for Barkley, Thomas and Lawrence have remained unchanged. McCloud (3rd) and Love (8th) have each moved up a spot in votes for their positions. Gano took a fall from 6th last week to 7th this week following his Week 13 performance.
With the exception of Gano, the other five Giant players in the top-10 in voting at their positions are 25 years old or younger and should provide the Giants a nucleus of players to build around.
Giants fans can continue to cast their votes at NFL.com or join in the Twitter voting campaign.
