WATCH: Interception of the year belongs to ... a Giants linebacker?
New York Giants outside linebacker Devon Kennard came away with arguably the most impressive defensive play of the Giants' season Sunday in the first half of the team's Week 4 game at Buffalo.
Kennard was matched up in coverage on Bills tight end Charles Clay, who was targeted down the left sideline on a wheel route. Kennard made a leaping interception after ripping the ball out of Clay's hands. Pretty impressive for a 260-pound man.
Charles Clay had it... So how did Devon Kennard intercept this ball? Seriously, how? #NYGvsBUF http://t.co/KZ7kRwnTfQ

Earlier this offseason, Giants captain Jon Beason said Kennard had the potential to emerge as the Giants' best defender in 2015. The 2014 fifth-round pick has indeed become a force -- he can rush the passer, stop the run and (clearly) hold his own in pass coverage.
