The NY Giants gave up 237.9 yards per game in 2020, ranking them 16th in the NFL in pass defense. The problem surely was not with James Bradberry as the free agent pick up proved himself worthy of being called a shutdown corner. Where the Giants struggled was on the opposite side of Bradberry. A revolving door of cornerbacks (or versatile safeties) attempted to lock it down against mostly #2 and #3 receivers, but to no avail.

2019 first-round pick De’Andre Baker was to be the heir apparent to the #2 spot, that did not work as planned, nor did 2018 supplemental draft pick Sam Beal.
