Aaron Robinson film study: 5 plays for Giants fans to get excited about, and 2 to worry about

After trading back twice in the first two rounds, Dave Gettleman and the New York Giants’ brass ended up trading up to acquire the UCF cornerback Aaron Robinson. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound, cornerback has a ton of experience in press man coverage and he’s very versatile. In 2020, he played 100 snaps at outside corner, 484 in the slot, 46 in the box - the Giants think he can also play the STAR position, which is a hybrid defensive back/linebacker that aligns often where a typical outside linebacker would align.

The Giants predominantly played zone coverage, middle of the field closed, defenses in 2020.
