EAST RUTHERFORD -- Mykkele Thompson played cornerback in college. After two injury-plagued NFL seasons at safety, he has moved back.

It's not as easy as it sounds.

"It's a little different, especially coming from safety to corner," said Thompson, who added the old adage about always knowing how to ride a bike after learning for the first time does not apply to the defensive backfield. "Things move a lot faster in this league. It's all about getting comfortable."

It's imperative Thompson gets there as soon as possible. His Giants career depends upon it.
