Inexperience got the better of the New York Giants’ secondary in 2024. However, their youth is also their promise with each young defensive back possessing a high level of potential to be unlocked going forward.
The veteran of the group, 29-year-old cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, played a mentorship role this season, keeping an eye on the youngsters and trying to set a good example from which they can learn. When speaking to Empire Sports Media’s own Ryan Garcia, Jackson highlighted one underrated Giants cornerback to keep an eye on entering 2025.
Adoree’ Jackson says to keep an eye on Giants CB Cor’Dale Flott in 2025
Jackson was in Hoboken, New Jersey on Wednesday night, hosting a public meet-and-greet at Bodega Cards while promoting his new business for which he is the co-founder, PorchPals, which helps protect against package theft.
During an exclusive interview at the event, Garcia asked Jackson if there was a young player on the Giants who not enough fans were talking about on the defensive side of the ball. Jackson highlighted one underrated cornerback entering his fourth season:
“The one I like a lot is Cor’Dale Flott,” Jackson told Garcia. “I feel like he’s a talented corner. He can play inside, he can play outside, he’s very instinctual. He’s a great person and I feel like he’s a great DB in this league.”
Flott is entering his fourth season in the NFL after the Giants selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The LSU product made a career-high 10 starts for the G-Men this season, elevating into a larger role within New York’s inexperienced defensive backfield. He set new career highs with 53 combined tackles, two tackles for loss, and seven pass defenses.
Considering how weak the secondary was in 2024, the Giants will hope Jackson’s assessment is right, and that Flott continues to elevate his play in 2025 as he enters a contract year.
