Nubin-Holland duo ‘could do a lot’
The Giants made several splashes in the first few days of free agency, including a couple of big moves in the secondary. It started with the signing of cornerback Paulson Adebo, which was then quickly followed by bringing safety Jevón Holland into the fold. Between the additions of Nubin and Holland over the last two offseasons, the Giants completely revamped their starting safeties. While the pair have yet to take the field together in a game setting, Nubin is excited about what the two could do together.
“We definitely got a lot of similar skill sets,” Nubin said when asked about Holland. “Things that he does are things that I like to emulate as well in the run game, being able to play deep in the half, being able to play in the post. He’s a very versatile player and he’s a guy that I looked at a lot when I was in college coming into the league, so definitely a lot of respect for him there in that aspect. Definitely, we could do a lot…
“Like I said, I was studying him a lot in college because I admire his game. I think we have a lot of similar traits. We’re both bigger guys. We can both come up and tackle. We can both cover, we can both play in the half, do a lot of versatile things so it’s awesome to be able to get a chance to play with him and learn with him.”
“I think it’s good to add Holland next to him, who’s another vocal guy who’s done it for a while,” Daboll added about the team’s starting safeties. “The combination of those two guys since OTAs has been very encouraging for me and I know for the defensive staff, in terms of the communication, the adjustments you need to make when you get into a different formation.”
As for Adebo, the veteran corner has already helped make an impact on a young Giants secondary.
“He’s real smart, bro,” Nubin said about the veteran corner. “He’s a super smart football player. He is real technical, he’s a pro. I think he’s just another example for guys to look at it, somebody that’s really doing it the right way. Everybody can follow in his lead and follow in his footsteps.”

Injuries played a part in that, as he suited up in only 12 games compared to the 17 contests he played in the prior season. But that was not the only reason, as he also…
