Minnesota Golden Gophers safety Tyler Nubin is generally held to be the top safety in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has good size, versatility, and a ballhawk’s instincts to create turnovers. However, he also suffered a late season meniscus injury and had a disappointing showing at the 2024 NFL Scouting combine, which could work against him on teams’ boards.
If there was any question as to whether or not the New York Giants would place a high value on the safety position, the fact they let two good safeties depart in free agency in consecutive years should put that question to rest.
