Janoris Jenkins is ready to be the player Giants need again

As training camps and preseasons go, no news is usually good news for established veterans. So it went for Janoris Jenkins, the best cornerback the Giants have, a player who absolutely, positively must remain healthy and have a bounce-back season for a defense not exactly teeming with overwhelming talent.

Jenkins is a colorful performer, and the Giants need his play-making ability and a consistent effort from him, given the rather turbulent state of the cornerback position in a defensive backfield that could go either way this season. After a wonderful debut season with the Giants in 2016, as he looked every bit worth his $62.
