The New York Giants have six young cornerbacks who have never played an NFL snap, and a seventh who has just 10 games of NFL experience. Rolling with such a young and unknown group in 2019 is a huge gamble, one that will go a long way toward determining whether or not the Giants’ defense shows improvement in 2019.
Speaking about his defense as a whole, GM Dave Gettleman said recently that its overwhelming amount of youth “excites me.”
“They’ll make youthful mistakes, but if they’re smart, they’ll only make them once. If they play with youthful exuberance, we’ll be fine,” Gettleman said.
