Best buds Micah McFadden, Bobby Okereke on an important Giants mission in the middle

Micah McFadden pantomimes in the background, fooling around while Bobby Okereke speaks. Later, Okereke chants, “Miiiicah, Miiiicah,” from a few feet away while McFadden talks.

They are best buds at the heart of the Giants defense.

On a unit that has seen a plethora of changes this offseason, the two inside linebackers represent valuable continuity.

“We’re the men in the middle. There’s a lot of communication that needs to relay from the back to the front,” Okereke told The Post after practice Friday. “We’re at the point of attack a lot of times, so for us to be an elite defense, we have to play really well — and we will.”
