S Xavier McKinney
The Giants are hoping their second-round pick can secure a starting job alongside Jabrill Peppers in the secondary. He’s off to a good start. On Thursday, McKinney had his second eye-opening practice of the week.
“McKinney has shown this week why many considered him a steal in the second round,” noted Salamone. “Today, the rookie broke up two passes to kick off the day during 1-on-1 drills. It followed up a Tuesday outing – yesterday was not a full-speed practice – in which he had an interception.”
