Greg Newsome II Joins Giants, Ready to Shine

0:00For NFL coverage, this is your March 18th update, Greg Newsom. The second is set to play for his third NFL team in six seasons after signing with the New York Giants this year. The cornerback was a first round pick by the Cleveland Browns, going 26 overall in the 2021 draft. Known for his speed and press coverage skills, he quickly earned a starting spot and made the all-rookie team. During his time with the Browns, Newsom often shifted inside to the nickel roll to help the team, even though he preferred working the boundary as an end, outside corner. After four and a half seasons without a pro-ball nod, Cleveland traded him last October while he was on his fifth year option. Newsom brings solid versatility to New York, comfortable playing both inside and outside, based on the scheme. He told reporters he can handle whatever the coaches need, which fits the Giants' current setup perfectly. The Jaguars picked him up in the trade, but used more zone coverage that didn't play to his strengths, then let him walk in free agency.

1:00Meanwhile, New York needed depth after losing Coredale flat to Tennessee and seeing Paul Senadebo fall short of expectations. Now with the Giants, Newsom has a fresh shot to prove himself as a top corner. Insiders covering the Browns for years say his skills could really boost New York secondary as they tweak their depth chart. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor. See the description.
