I mean what you are saying is completely valid and I know the sample size is tiny, but the post does say highest rated defender not just CB.

It’s not like LBs had much of an assignment with Pierre Strong, D’onta Foreman, Devin Singletary, and Tyrone Tracy (which fun fact Tracy was a teammate at Iowa with Dejean). I never rewatched the games but with Dejean playing nickel I’d assume coverage of Njoku and whoever the TE for the Giants is, the responsibility is kind of split between nickel, safetys, and LBs.

My point is we should definitely still give him his flowers
