Being injured on the sideline may be hurting Sam Beal’s chances of carving out a role in the Giants defense, but it is apparently not diminishing his confidence.
The second-year cornerback who missed all of last season in injured reserve with a shoulder injury and has yet to play in a preseason game this summer because of a hamstring injury was asked on Sunday what his best on-field asset is.
“Can’t name it," he said. "I have too many of them. My best ability is just being me. An athlete.”
His inability to show that to the Giants, though, may be his biggest deficiency.
