Tyler Nubin’s emotions almost got the best of him before his first practice as an NFL player with the New York Giants.
“Almost shed a tear when I saw my helmet and my locker,” Nubin, a safety drafted in Round 2, said. “ It’s just awesome. Just being able to be out here, play the game I love, again, especially for this great, storied organization, I couldn’t thank this organization enough.”
The Giants drafted Nubin as a replacement for Xavier McKinney, who signed with the Green Bay Packers in free agency. The Giants are looking for both play-making, and eventually, leadership in the secondary from Nubin.
