The New York Giants need all the help they can get in the secondary. After consecutive seasons of a shaky defensive backfield, the Giants finally went out and spent a high round draft pick on a free safety. Landing Xavier McKinney, in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, should see positive returns.
McKinney will permanently replace Antoine Bethea, who struggled to lock down the deep half of the field. He was more efficient in stopping the run in a strong safety role. McKinney has excellent tackling fundamentals and elite game speed, making him a threat in every facet.
