2.) Where will Julian Love play?

When Julian Love recorded his first interception against the Chicago Bears in 2019, everybody opened up their eyes a little bit more to the former Notre Dame corner. Love is an exceptional talent who was a corner predominantly during his collegiate career. However, the Giants have attempted to utilize him as a utility player, molding him to a safety role while maintaining his corner skills.

With his ability to play deep in coverage and close to line scrimmage, pairing him with Xavier McKinney and Jabrill Peppers will only be beneficial. Rotating them and creating unpredictable defensive coverages will help coordinator Patrick Graham maximize his creativity when calling plays.

Last year with the Giants, love posted 37 combined tackles, five tackles for a loss, three passes defended, and one interception. With a year of experience under his belt, it will be interesting to see how the Giants utilize his abilities and find reps for him in a new scheme.
