Loaded Secondary

Perhaps no position group has seen more resources spent by Gettleman than the Giants’ secondary.

Boatloads of money and countless draft picks has gone into rebuilding the team’s unit – but it looks like it’s about to pay off. The Giants are poised to deploy one of the strongest secondaries in the entire league.

James Bradberry and Adoree’ Jackson manning the top corner positions, while Isaac Yiadom and Rodarius Williams back them up. In the slot, Aaron Robinson and Darnay Holmes lock down the position as an exciting, young tandem.

Elsewhere, Ryan, Xavier McKinney, Jabrill Peppers and Julian Love put the clamps on from the safety positions. It’s an embarrassment of riches at a position group that plagued Giants’ teams for years prior.

The shirts were printed for a reason – the New York Pass Defense returns in 2021.
