The New York Giants are making some significant changes to their defense with an influx of new talent forcing them to alter their lineup. Rookie CBs Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins III have both excelled throughout the summer and appear to be fighting for starting jobs. However, both Banks and Hawkins are boundary cornerbacks, playing primarily on the outside. This creates a conflict within the lineup as veteran CB Adoree’ Jackson, one of the defense’s best players, also plays primarily on the outside.
To counteract this issue, the Giants have been testing Jackson’s ability to play in the slot this summer.
