The New York Giants chose not re-sign safety Jabrill Peppers this offseason and then released veteran Logan Ryan. That left just two safeties on the roster — Xavier McKinney and Julian Love.
McKinney is a budding star and the Giants plan on centering much of what they do on defense around him. Love has had an up-and-down ride with the Giants thus far after being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft. He’s started just 17 games, not all at safety.
