NY Giants fans need to focus more on this draft pick with rookies at camp
Just like that, NY Giants rookies have reported for the start of training camp and we are somehow less than two months away from the regular season starting. Where in the world did the time go? Obviously, with rookies at camp, loads of attention is going to be on Malik Nabers.
The No. 6 overall pick is a stud and he has all the tools to be a brilliant pass-catcher for this team. However, let's not sleep on the other guys already in town, including second-round pick Tyler Nubin. Nubin has flown a bit under-the-radar this offseason, but make no mistake about it: this kid is going to be a massive piece of the puzzle for defensive coordinator Shane Bowen in 2024.
Tyler Nubin will look to make plenty of noise at NY Giants training camp
With Xavier McKinney getting his bag from the Green Bay Packers in free agency, a massive void will be present for the secondary. However, Schoen attacked things early on in the draft, using his leftover second-round pick on Nubin - the Giants traded their other second-rounder as part of the Brian Burns deal.
Nubin was a stud for Minnesota during his college career and several analysts had him as the top-rated safety for the '24 NFL Draft class. Plenty of Big Blue supporters celebrated the Nubin news and those same people are still fired up over the decision.
The safety showed some flashes of brilliance during OTAs and minicamp, but now things are going to be taken to the next level with the first practice of training camp coming on July 24. With Daniel Jones all set to be fully healthy, Nubin will have the chance to make noise against a healthy, fully-loaded NY starting 11 on offense.
While we don't want to see Jones struggle throwing the ball around, it'd be quite satisfying to see Nubin break up some of his pass attempts and even post an interception or two ahead of the preseason. Nubin is a gamer and he's sure to be a great fit for this defense. Soon enough, we'll see just what he will be able to get done. It's time for the hype to grow on the Gophers product.
