Prior to the (virtual) 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants were slated to have two, potentially three individuals compete for the starting nickel corner job. Grant Haley and Corey Ballentine, who both notched starts at that spot last year, were the two frontrunners, with the 23-year-old Sam Beal looking to find himself in the mix as well.
But now that the annual event has concluded, there may be upwards of six main competitors battling for the job, two of which are newbies within the organization.
The Giants respectively drafted UCLA’s Darnay Holmes and Minnesota’s Chris Williamson in the fourth and seventh rounds.
