Giants news, 5/30: Saquon Barkley, Xavier McKinney, more

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Saquon Barkley adds college degree to list of accolades

NFL’s most underappreciated players: DK Metcalf, David Montgomery among NFC picks

Xavier McKinney:

McKinney earned PFF’s 12th-best coverage grade (78.4) among 113 qualifying safeties in 2021. Computer vision shows that when the Giants deployed man concepts, he was at his best, decreasing opposing passer ratings by an average of 22.2 points. McKinney, who led the team in interceptions last season (5), improved over the course of the campaign, and it stands to reason that he’ll be asked to do even more in Year 3, especially given the departure of James Bradberry.
