Julian Love was loving the thought.
The Giants’ rookie safety will make his first NFL start Sunday at MetLife Stadium against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers after Jabrill Peppers was declared out Friday.
Sam Beal is excited to face Rodgers, too. The virtual rookie, who missed last season with a shoulder injury, is set to share left cornerback with rookie starter DeAndre Baker for the second straight week.
When the Giants play in the nickel, they will have three rookies or first-year players in the secondary at once because rookie Corey Ballentine is the slot corner.
