The man who helped usher James Bradberry from small college football to the NFL says the Giants are getting a “dream” of a player in free agency.

Chris Hatcher, head coach at Samford University in Alabama since Bradberry’s senior season there in 2015, told Newsday that the free agent acquisition who will at some point sign a three-year, $45 million contract with the Giants now that the league year has officially begun, is a prototype for his position.

“With James’ height and his size and his overall athletic ability and natural instinct, he’s a dream of what people are looking for to play corner,” Hatcher said on Wednesday.
