The Giants chose Western Michigan cornerback Sam Beal in the third-round of the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft on Wednesday, a somewhat surprising move, but one that further adds depth to the cornerback position.
Beal, 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, has the combination of size and length that NFL defensive coordinators covet.
As a junior in 2017, Beal made 22 tackles with 2.0 tackles for loss, and intercepted two passes with 10 pass breakups.
In three seasons at Western Michigan, Beal totaled 92 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, and two interceptions.
The Giants have two established cornerbacks in Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple slated to start on the outside, and signed Penn State's Grant Haley as an undrafted rookie free agent at a position group that also includes veterans Teddy Williams, B.
