As the NFL Draft nears, New York Giants fans have their eyes on a few positions. Most people seek a pass-rusher and the successor to quarterback Eli Manning in the first round. Then in the second round, the desire could be for an offensive lineman, possibly a right tackle to replace Chad Wheeler.
But one spot that could be getting overlooked for Big Blue is the free safety position. The Giants haven’t had a reliable free safety the past few seasons. They employed Darian Thompson in 2017, who finished with only one interception and six passes broken up before being cut prior to the 2018 season.
