The Giants defensive backfield is heavily improved (on paper, at least) when you compare the current group to that of two seasons ago. Following moves made both this year and last, Big Blue is set to start Pro Bowler James Bradberry, free-agent pickup Adoree’ Jackson, safeties Logan Ryan and Jabrill Peppers, and second-year man Darnay Holmes at slot corner. Not to mention, Xavier McKinney, arguably the top safety of the 2020 draft, will additionally be in the mix.
Any successful secondary must build and subsequently maintain significant chemistry though — much of the Giants defensive backfield, including Ryan, attempted to achieve that task this offseason by working out together in Florida.
