New York Giants safety Tyler Nubin stood out as a rookie in 2024, giving the team much-needed stability in the secondary and paving the way for a solid future.
The second-round pick out of Minnesota (47th overall) was a staple on the Giants’ defense from the jump, starting the first 13 games of the season and playing on 100 percent of the defensive snaps in 11 of them before being placed on season-ending injured reserve (IR) with an ankle injury.
Pro Football Focus believes the best is yet to come for Nubin and named him a potential breakout player for 2025.
As part of a loaded 2024 draft class, Nubin shined by himself with a 76.0 PFF run-defense grade and a 79.4 PFF tackling grade. Ironically, his issues arose in coverage, where he was unbelievable in 2023 at Minnesota, with a 90.1 PFF coverage grade. Anticipate Nubin playing a more complete game in his second season, particularly if New York can upgrade its cornerback room.
Nubin had big shoes to fill after the team let future All-Pro Xavier McKinley walk to Green Bay in free agency last March and he came through.
At the time of his injury, Nubin was leading the Giants in total tackles (98) and his 57 solo stops tied him for third among NFL rookies this season despite missing the final four games.
