New York Giants: Projecting the Week 1 starting secondary

Continuity is paramount in the NFL, especially in the secondary. If players are not on the same page the result will be a touchdown for the opposition. Building continuity and chemistry in the secondary will be one of the challenges for New York Giants head coach Joe Judge and defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson.

In addition to the new coaching staff, cornerback DeAndre Baker is currently on the Commissioner’s Exempt list after being charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm. With Baker out of the mix, the only starter returning from last year’s team is strong safety Jabrill Peppers, who started 11 games last season.
