PFF appears unimpressed with New York’s upgrades
Just how good can the New York Giants defense be?
While we’re all excited about their defensive line, the ceiling for the unit as a whole could be determined by their secondary.
The Giants added two of the top free agents in this year’s class, and they also had two of the top rookie defensive backs in the NFL last year. They’re looking to field a group consisting of Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks, Dru Phillips, Jevon Holland, and Tyler Nubin — with Cor’Dale Flott and Dane Belton pushing for playing time as well....
Can this group create more turnovers?
The New York Giants upgraded their safety room this offseason with the signing of Jevon Holland, who joins second-year former second-round pick, Tyler Nubin. The combination of Holland and Nubin theoretically gives Shane Bowen a starting safety tandem with a knack for intercepting opposing quarterbacks.
Nubin was the all-time interception leader at the University of Minnesota with 13 total picks. Holland had nine interceptions in two seasons at Oregon. He’s had one interception in the past two seasons in the NFL, and five total as a professional dating back to 2021.
Bowen runs two-read...

After Malik Nabers, do the Giants have enough weapons at receiver?
The New York Giants were 31st in the NFL in points scored during the 2024 season. One of the biggest reasons was an inability to create explosive plays.
The Giants finished 2024 with just 29 plays of 25 or more yards, with only five teams compiling fewer.
The biggest issue wasn’t weapons — it was the Giants’ quarterbacks inability to connect with those weapons on big plays.
Daniel Jones was 8 of 31 (25.8%) on throws of 20 yards or more before being benched and departing for the [Minnesota...
Banks needs to take the next step in his third year
The New York Giants are expecting big things from cornerback Deonte Banks.
There have been high expectations of Banks from the start. After all, not only did they make him a first-round pick, but they used additional draft capital to trade up and acquire him.
Unfortunately, Banks’ career thus far has been a roller coaster.
He’s had some great highs, as well as some deep lows. And overall he has yet to live up to the expectations placed upon him when he was drafted. He’s entering the third year...

Wide receiver always had quarterback’s back, and apparently still does
Darius Slayton and Daniel Jones both came to the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft. Slayton, a wide receiver drafted in Round 5, spent their six years together in New York defending the quarterback taken No. 6 overall.
Jones is gone from the Giants, having moved on to the Minnesota Vikings last season and now to the Indianapolis Colts. Slayton, though, is still defending the quarterback.
Appearing on the ‘NFL Spotlight with Ari Meirov’ podcast, Slayton insisted that Jones was not solely to blame for the struggles the...
The price isn’t right for the former Giants quarterback
The New York Giants are still trying to sell a small share of the franchise, but legendary former Giants quarterback Eli Manning won’t be purchasing it.
There were reports when it was announced that the Mara and Tisch families were trying to sell a non-controlling share of up to 10%, that Manning was interested.
Manning, though, told CNBC Sport that the purchase would be too rich for him.
“Basically, it’s too expensive for me,” Manning told CNBC Sport in an interview. “A 1% stake valued at $10 billion turns into...
A look at the players with the widest ranges of outcomes
The Fourth of July holiday weekend has come and gone, and I hope yours was fun. I spent part of mine putting together my first set of Fantasy Redraft Rankings and Tiers for 2025. Priorities! It’s fun taking that first pass each summer, and I’ll be sharing rankings for each of the major fantasy positions in the coming weeks.
Every year, there are players who give me fits. I struggle to settle on a reasonable draft ranking for certain guys because of the wide range of their possible season-long...
The Eagles are still the team to beat — but will the gap close in 2025?
Training camp is just weeks away, and in the NFC East, every team enters with something to prove. The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a Super Bowl run, the Washington Commanders are riding a franchise quarterback breakthrough, the Dallas Cowboys are entering a new era, and the New York Giants… well, they’re hoping a strong draft class can at least put them in the fight.
From quarterback battles to rookie spotlights, here’s what we will be watching from the Giants’ rivals as the NFC...
Can Theo Johnson be what the Giants think he can?
The New York Giants drafted Theo Johnson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft hoping he would develop into a pass-catching weapon and all-around quality tight end.
Even though he may not have been fully ready for the responsibility, the Giants committed to Johnson’s development by starting him from Day 1 last season. Johnson began to reward the Giants’ faith over his final five games of 2024, catching at least three passes in each and totaling 18 receptions in that time.
Unfortunately for Johnson and the Giants, his...
