The New York Giants have searched high and low for a player to solidify the back end of their defense. Have they finally found one in Darian Thompson?
The New York Giants have been looking high and low for an every-down starting free safety since Kenny Phillips was lost for the 2009 season with a knee injury. That injury turned out to be a degenerative knee condition which cut the promising young safety's career short.
The next year the Giants signed Antrel Rolle to a massive contract. However injuries and inadequacies lead to him playing too many of his snaps as a slot corner or even a linebacker, rather than the free safety position he was signed to play.
