Prior to Monday, there was a chance the New York Giants were going to consider rookie Darnay Holmes for the starting corner role opposite James Bradberry. With what he’s been able to do thus far during his inaugural NFL training camp — and a weird and unusual annual period at that — it would’ve only been fitting for the Joe Judge coaching staff to give him a look. After all, the top guy for the role, at the time, was Corey Ballentine, someone who portrayed inconsistencies from the slot last year.
But now that the Giants have acquired veteran defensive back Logan Ryan on a one-year deal, it doesn’t seem like Holmes will possess any shot at a starting role in what was originally DeAndre Baker’s spot.
