Giants roster countdown, No. 7: Will CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie excel again?

Related Topics: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was one of the Giants' unsung heroes last season. While high-priced free agents received most of the credit for turning around the Giants' defense, Rodgers-Cromartie's unselfish move to slot corner was one of the most important developments of the season. A two-time Pro Bowler, the 31-year-old Rodgers-Cromartie thrived in his new role, earning second-team All-Pro honors. With Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple entrenched as the outside corners, Rodgers-Cromartie returns as the slot corner this season.
