But we’ll go with Tyler Nubin, a playmaker that has been searching for that much of two seasons as a Giant. He has the size and length teams look for in the secondary, but his instincts are what sets him apart. His study habits and understanding of opposing offenses should allow for Nubin to get to spaces where young players probably should not.
As a rookie, Nubin admits that he was thinking too much, and that slowed down his ability to react and attack. Last season, with the Giants’ defense struggling with consistency, Nubin was lost in fired DC Shane Bowen’s passive scheme. Harbaugh and Wilson will expect more from Nubin and Holland, and they won’t hesitate to move them around.
