Drafted as a cornerback, fielded as a safety.
The confidence the New York Giants possess in Julian Love is clear. The young defensive back played cornerback for Notre Dame during his three years at the collegiate level. But when Big Blue drafted him, many believed he could be the successor to Antoine Bethea, an aging free safety who the team ended up releasing after just one season.
After becoming sort of a mystery for the first 10 games of his rookie campaign, Love found significant playing time when Jabrill Peppers missed the final five weeks due to a transverse process fracture.
