The New York Giants secondary was always going to be an adventure in 2020. Despite spending on cornerback James Bradberry and investing a second round pick on safety Xavier McKinney, the Giants are going to be relying on a largely inexperienced group of defensive backs. And while that could be a good thing in the long run, it still stands that secondary, and cornerback position in particular, has a notoriously sharp learning curve.
Advanced analytics service Pro Football Focus ranked the Giants 27th in their preview of the 32 NFL secondies, and that was before DeAndre Baker was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt list and Sam Beal opted out of the 2020 season.
