GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Giants paid Andrew Adams one of the best compliments they could this week. He didn’t even notice.
Adams was so focused on making his first NFL start at safety last week and preparing for his second Sunday night against the Packers that the undrafted rookie had no clue the Giants were holding a tryout for veteran free agents at his position.
It wasn’t exactly a list of no-names, either, with former Pro Bowler Donte Whitner headlining a group that included veterans Jeron Johnson, Will Allen and Shamiel Gary.
The workouts were held because the Giants were all the way down to the bottom of their depth chart with Adams, who started the season on the practice squad, because of injuries to projected starters Darian Thompson (foot) and Nat Berhe (concussion).
