In a surprise to most, Alabama safety Xavier McKinney, who was arguably the best at his position in this year’s entire draft class, wasn’t selected in the opening round. This allowed him to drop to No. 36 overall, where he fell right into the arms of the New York Giants.
McKinney will likely start alongside Jabrill Peppers in what could be an extremely athletic and versatile safety tandem. But will the young rookie be okay doing anything the team asks of him?
The apparent answer is a resounding yes.
“I’ve always said this and I’ll always keep saying it, my biggest comfort zone is I’m comfortable anywhere,” McKinney told John Schmeelk of Giants.
