5 New York Giants with most to gain in preseason matchup vs. Lions

Nick McCloud’s relationship with Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen goes back to their days in Buffalo. This week, Daboll called him a ‘flexible’ player, perhaps the best compliment one can get from the head coach.

“He has played safety, he has played the nickel, he has played corner. He has been a special teams player,” said Daboll. “So, again, it goes back to the more you can do. He’s kind of moved all around. I’d probably expect similar throughout camp. But he’s a smart player. It’s a benefit when you can have a guy who can move in a lot of different spots.”

With the Giants’ secondary in flux, McCloud already has the confidence of the coaches so all he has to do is keep on keeping on and he’ll be on the roster come the end of camp.
