The defensive line was the strength of the New York Giants defense in 2022. The secondary, by comparison, was something of a MASH unit as the Giants scrambled to fill out their depth chart in the face of injury.

Boise State’s JL Skinner is a big, long safety at 6-foot-4, 211 pounds but has good athleticism and movement skills for his size.
