Valentino Blake has left the team for personal reasons. Michael Hunter Jr. is sidelined with a concussion. The Giants are looking to fill in the depth chart behind their starting cornerbacks as they contemplate their eventual 53-man roster, the first draft of which is due a week from Saturday.
Seems like a great opportunity for Donte Deayon to grab hold of some reps and secure a spot as the team’s fourth corner Saturday night against the Jets.
And it is. Just don’t suggest that to Deayon.
“That’s not what’s opening up my opportunity,” said the second-year player, who spent part of last season on the Giants’ practice squad.
