Xavier McKinney Might Have Seamless Transition
5 years agoNew York Giants rookie safety Xavier McKinney, a second-round pick in the draft, can do it all in the secondary and should be ready to play right away in Week 1. McKinney's coach at Alabama, Nick Saban, said that his teams typically do similar stuff to NFL teams from a coverage standpoint, making McKinney's transition much easier at the next level. "Even though this will be a transition, I think most of the things that 'X' is going to be exposed to, he's probably done. They might call it something different. I think it'll be an easy transition for him," Saban said. The G-Men need all the help they can get in slowing down the Eagles and Cowboys offenses this year.
