Coming into his third season in his professional career safety Xavier McKinney looks like he will be stepping into an even bigger role for the New York Giants. Speaking with the media today, McKinney talked about being the play caller for Wink Martindale for the upcoming 2022 season.
“Right now, I’m getting the signals. Like I said, it’s a process. Obviously, it’s a little different, but I did it in OTAs, so I’m pretty much used to it now. But yeah, I’m getting the plays around.“
The main play caller for the Giants defense has been Blake Martinez since signing in 2020, the only other play caller has been Tae Crowder while Martinez was injured.
