Giants' Mid-Round Steal: Davison Igbinosun

0:00It's March 22nd. This is NFL News today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Giants could use more depth at cornerback if they're not sold on Greg Newsom. The second or Deonte Banks locking down the spot opposite, Paulson Adivo. Instead of burning a first round pick with two former top picks already in the mix, they might target Ohio State's standout, Davison Igbenison, later in. The draft. His six-foot-two New Jersey native brings length and versatility from playing in an NFL-style defense. Igbenison shines with his quick closing speed, sharp awareness, and knack for disrupting passes. He's got 27 defense in his career, including eight last season. He reads quarterbacks early in zone coverage, mirrors receivers and man, and even mixes it up in the run game with physical tackles and block shedding. That said, he's got some areas to polish, like hip fluidity for sharp brow breaks and navigating traffic on complex plays.

1:00At 189 pounds, he might struggle against bigger NFL receivers, and his four career interceptions show room for better ball skills. Tackling consistency is another tweak needed. Scout see him as a solid day two value, likely gone by the end of round two, with upside as a starter in cover, and three schemes like Seattle's or pattern matching defenses. For the Giants, it's a scheme-dependent fit that adds competition without overpaying. As the draft nears, keep an eye on how New York prioritizes their secondary. Igbeno's son could be the smart mid-round steel to bolster their backfield.
