Secondary

The secondary may have been shredded by Aaron Rodgers during Wild Card Weekend, but it remains the biggest strength of the team. Landon Collins was a first-team All-Pro, while Janoris Jenkins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie were second-team All-Pro’s. Eli Apple, despite struggling mightily against Randall Cobb and Devante Adams, quietly put together a very solid rookie campaign.

The biggest question mark is at free safety. Leon Hall played a bit of free safety down the stretch, but he is A: 32-years old, B: a cornerback, and C: A free agent. Darian Thompson has a ton of potential, and the Giants brass is big fans of him, but whether or not he can stay healthy remains a question mark.

Cody Sensabaugh and Trevin Wade, who are serviceable backup corners, are also free agents.
