While the Giants’ first-round pick struggles, the second-round pick has never been beat, never blown an assignment and never made a mistake.
Of course Xavier McKinney has never played, either. But that may close to changing.
Joe Judge said earlier this week that the team is "optimistic and eager" to get the safety back into action. McKinney has been sidelined since August when he required surgery to repair a fracture in his foot. He’s not yet able to practice with the team, but he’s been able to participate in just about every other aspect of the season.
