DB Jabrill Peppers

Peppers has been one of the Giants’ top defensive backs the past two seasons, and has the ability to be a dynamic special teams contributor.

The Giants have yet to have the chance to get rookie Xavier McKinney on the field  alongside Peppers, with McKinney sidelined since late August with a fractured foot. However, adding McKinney to the secondary should mask some of Peppers’ inconsistencies in coverage and allow him to be more of a weapon against the run and up near the line of scrimmage.
