The New York Giants felt confident in their decision not bring back veteran safeties Jabrill Peppers and Logan Ryan this year. They are going with the upcoming star Xavier McKinney and utility back Julian Love, who started five games in 2021 due to an injury to Peppers.
Love, 24, was a fourth-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2019 and has been used all over the secondary under the prior two coaching regimes. This year. he’ll be a likely starter at safety under new defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
