The New York Giants appear to have big plans for second-round pick Tyler Nubin.
GM Joe Schoen called Nubin a “culture-changer” collegiately at Minnesota and has spoken of him as though he clearly believes Nubin will be part of the team’s defensive core for the next several seasons.
Assistant GM Brandon Brown said this spring that Nubin can be the “alpha of alphas.”
