New York Giants linebacker Azeez Ojulari was limited to 11 games in 2023 and produced just 2.5 sacks, which marked a career low.

Injuries have been the theme for Ojulari over the past two seasons, having missed a total of 16 games due to calf, hip, ankle, and hamstring issues. His lack of availability led the Giants to trade for superstar Brian Burns this offseason.

However, Ojulari has not been shown the door. Yet. He's the final member of the 2021 NFL draft class and the Giants hope that a reduced, rotational role will serve him well.

But Ojulari is hungry for more. He's determined to stay healthy this season and hired a personal chiropractor to aid in that quest.

"My hips weren't aligned. Stuff was off. One hip was longer than the other," Ojulari told the New York Post. "When I'm doing that work consistently, it evened me out. Balance. That should help with staying on the field."

With faith that his lower body issues are a thing of the past, Ojulari is intent on redemption and making the most of what's likely his last shot in East Rutherford.

"When I'm out there, I have to produce, stay healthy and do what I can do -- get to the quarterback, make TFLs [tackles for loss], make plays that I used to make," he said. "I'm going to get back to myself and show it out there. Seeing the end of last season was not what I wanted at all. It was a bad look on me and I took that to the core. I was like, 'I can't do that again.' It won't be like that anymore going forward."

If Ojulari can stay on the field and turn back the clock, it would greatly benefit defensive coordinator Shane Bowen and his fellow edge rushers, Kayvon Thibodeaux and the aforementioned Burns.
