1. Aaron Robinson

Aaron Robinson was selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft after Azeez Ojulari. While Robinson did not have nearly the same amount of hype as Ojulari, he still showed a ton of promise. Similar to Holmes, however, we were not able to see Robinson at full potential last season as he was limited to only nine games due to a core muscle injury.

Despite this, in the games Robinson was able to play, he looked very promising. While Robinson certainly had games in which he struggled, as most rookies do, he looked very impressive throughout most of the season, only allowing 25+ yards in five out of the seven games in which he was targeted.

Similar to “Broadway” Holmes, Robinson will be fighting for the CB2 spot on the NY Giants, and we believe he is most likely to get it. Robinson has the best skill set and abilities out of all of the other CBs on the roster not named Adoree’ Jackson. If Robinson is able to build upon what he showcased in the 2021 season, then the NY Giants may potentially have a future star on their hands.
