This year’s biggest, and most pleasant, surprise is Nasir Adderly out of Delaware. Adderley emerged from pretty much nowhere to be one one of the top defensive backs in this draft class.As it so happens, the New York Giants are in a position where they could spend an early round draft pick to secure a long-term answer to man the back end of their defense. Could the Giants look at the Fighting Blue Hen as an eventual replacement for Antoine Bethea? MeasurablesProsRangy safety with good instincts. Able to play in man coverage and shows good awareness in zones. Generally does a good job of keeping the play in front of him.Quick to come downhill to make a play.Physical and competitive safety with a good motor. Generally a reliable tackler. Shows good ball skills.Able to play near the line of scrimmage as well as in a deep zone. Capably navigates crowded areas.ConsNeeds to get better taking on blockers.Long speed is only special.Will face a jump in competition from Delaware to the NFL.Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying Nasir Adderley is the latest small school prospect to serve as a reminder that high quality football players come from every level. Adderley has high end coverage skills and tackling, making him a desirable candidate to start in a single high role on defense. His projection would pair best in a man scheme, where he is then able to focus on prowling for the football as compared to passing off coverages. Adderley has excellent anticipation and ball skills, can be an impact starter. - Kyle Crabbs (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?Adderley should be a good fit for what the Giants like to do on defense. He is typically used in deep zone coverage, and passers rarely targeted him there his senior year. While Delaware ran a lot quarter coverage Carl Banks Color Rush Jersey , Adderley has the traits to give confidence that he will be able to play in single-high safety looks. He will face a significant jump in competition leaping from Delaware to the NFL, but he should be able to handle it. Adderley does a lot of what the Giants want from their free safety. He has a background as a cornerback letting him play in man coverage near the line of scrimmage, is quick to come down and play the run, and is a capable blitzer. He could deal with blocks better, but that should come with coaching. He is a competitive, physical player who shows no hesitation to come downhill and lay hits, while also generally wrapping up to limit yards after contact.If the Giants are willing to spend a high draft pick on a safety, Adderley would be one of their best options. Happy Sunday and game day, New York Giants fans. Today, we have a Sunday afternoon matchup between the Giants (5-9) and the Indianapolis Colts (8-6). Sunday’s matchup will be extremely tough for Big Blue. Led by quarterback Andrew Luck Mark Bavaro Color Rush Jersey , the Colts have been on fire as of late. After starting the season 1-5, Indianapolis has reeled off seven wins in its last eight games. Colts rookie running back Marlon Mack has been a huge reason for their success, averaging 4.8 yards per carry this season, including seven touchdowns. Andrew Luck looks to be back in form this season, passing for 3,951 yards and 34 touchdowns this season. The Giants are coming off their worst loss since their Week 6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, when they fell 34-13. New York will look to get running back Saquon Barkley back on track this week, who rushed for just 31 yards on 14 carries in last week’s 17-0 loss to the Tennessee Titans. On the season, Barkley has averaged 5.2 yards per carry, while scoring nine touchdowns for Big Blue Eli Manning Color Rush Jersey , earning him a Pro Bowl spot in his first NFL season. When Barkley goes, the offense follows. The Giants will play without Landon Collins (IR/torn labrum) and Odell Beckham Jr. (quad). The Giants are 9.5-point underdogs. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. EST.First half updatesGiants go up two scores after two possessions.Giants take 7-0 first-quarter lead.Pre-game updatesInactives:Fans will be upset about rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta being inactive, but the Giants are telling us a lot about what they think of the rookie with this move. NFL uniforms aren’t gifted, and by not activating Lauletta when they are out of the playoff chase the Giants are sending a loud and clear message that he hasn’t earned one. If Lauletta hasn’t done enough to earn a uniform at this point, that probably is not a good sign for his Giants’ future.Interesting tidbit of news here.Punter Riley Dixon arrives in style.Game detailsWhat: New York Giants vs. Indianapolis ColtsWhen: Sunday, Dec. 23Where: Lucas Oil StadiumGame time: 1 p.m.TV: CBSAnnouncers: FOX — Kevin Harlan (Play-by-Play), Rich Gannon (Color Commentary), Steve Tasker (Field Reporter)Radio: SIRIUS: 99 (NYG), 146 (Ind) | XM: 381 (NYG), 233 (Ind) | Tune-In Premium; Giants Radio Network — WFAN 660-AM and 101.9-FM and local affiliates (Bob Papa Connor Barwin Color Rush Jersey , Carl Banks, Howard Cross); Giants Spanish Radio — WADO 1280-AM (Nestor Rosario, Frances Adames)Odds: Colts -9.5 [Odds Shark]Prediction: Odds Shark predicts a 35-11 Colts victoryOnline Stream: The NFL app on your phone, smart TV or gaming system with a cable login, Sling TV subscription or free 7-day trial, FuboTV subscription or free 7-day trial.
