Good morning, New York Giants fans!
In his assessment of last season’s rookies, CBS Sports writer Josh Edwards named former second-round pick Xavier McKinney as one of his Year 2 breakout stars:
Xavier McKinney, NYG FS, #29
McKinney was my top-rated safety in last year’s draft so I am bullish, perhaps stubborn, in regards to his potential. The former Alabama defensive back missed 11 games, but ended the season on a high note with an interception against Dallas. One would think upgrading the pass rush is a priority for the Giants this offseason, and that only means more turnover opportunities for McKinney.
