Love appeared to be the odd man out when the Giants drafted McKinney this spring but you’d never know it. He is determined to make his case to keep the starting safety job he finished the 2019 season at. He could become a valuable cog in the Giants’ secondary this season.

“Love notched the lone interception of practice, capitalizing on a pass that went through the receiver’s hands,” Salamone reported on Thursday. “As you may have heard (multiple times) by now, the Giants are cross-training all of their players at different positions, especially in the secondary. Love is a player who can be used a variety of ways in a defensive backfield looking for players to step up after Sam Beal opted out of the season and DeAndre Baker was placed on the Commissioner Exempt List.”
