For whatever reason, a number of talented safeties on the free-agent market have yet to find new NFL employers. Michael Thomas isn’t one of them, having found a home with the New York Giants despite having been one of the anthem protestors last season with the Miami Dolphins.
Thomas is a Giant partially because they can use veteran depth and competition alongside Landon Collins, but also largely because he has been one of the league’s best special teams players for several years now — and the Giants desperately need to improve in that facet of the game.
