The New York Giants made it a point of emphasis to improve the secondary in the 2019 offseason. Big Blue drafted 3 defensive backs in the 2019 NFL Draft (4 if you count Sam Beal).
One of the talented young cornerbacks that the Giants drafted was Corey Ballentine out of Washburn. The New York Giants drafted Ballentine in the 6th round with the 180th overall pick in the draft.
Corey Ballentine missed rookie minicamp as he recovered from a bullet wound suffered in a shooting on draft night and mourned the loss of his friend and former teammate.
