Cornerback: Janoris Jenkins

This one is a no-brainer.

One of the Giants big three signings in the offseason, Janoris Jenkins stepped in right away and proved he was worth the massive deal.

While some at the time of this deal had some doubts, the North Alabama alum went to work and quickly washed those doubts away.

The cornerback dubbed Jackrabbit made receivers disappear throughout the season. To do his part in the defensive turnover, he quietly had three interceptions and 18 passes defended.

These numbers did not go by unnoticed by the rest of the league. On a stacked New York Giants defense, the corner was a Pro Bowler and a second team AP All-Pro.

Considering the fact that his big deal still has four more years remaining, there is no doubt he will once again be Big Blue’s number one cornerback. Hopefully, he will be able to repeat his 2016 success.
