3. Josh Shaw, USC
Josh Shaw was one of the top cornerbacks at USC last season. At 6’0″ and 201 pounds, Shaw had 6 interceptions in 21 games, 97 tackles and 13 deflections. He’s played slot corner, boundary corner and even safety.
Shaw had a solid time at the 2015 NFL Combine as well. He ran a 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds, 20-yard shuttle in 4.12 seconds, and did the 3-cone drill in 7.01 seconds. He had an impressive bench press of 225lbs for 26 reps to prove just how strong he is.
As versatile as it comes, Shaw can play both cornerback and safety positions easily. He’s quick on his feet and fast with his hands and he can bring runners down in a hurry. Shaw is a very aggressive player that will go after the ball and would be a great talent to have on the Giants’ defensive secondary.
