Donte Deayon covered receiver Dwayne Harris all the way across the field until they reached the sideline and Deayon dived for the pass. He broke it up, a good solid play by the second-year cornerback. But he was disappointed.
“I definitely should have come up with that one,” he said after the workout, lamenting the near interception. “Gotta come up with that one.”
Deayon knows how significant a seemingly insubstantial play like that can be. A year ago he was in training camp with the Giants as an undrafted free agent rookie. He gained immediate respect and attention from the coaches and his teammates because of his firecracker personality, positive attitude and competitive nature.
