9 New York Giants who have gained the most through two weeks of camp

Nick McCloud is battling Cor’Dale Flott for the No. 2 cornerback job and so far, he appears to be ahead.

“Good competition,” said Daboll. “Nick’s been out there. Flott’s been out there. Again, these next three weeks will be important.”

Shane Bowen likes what he’s seen from McCloud as well.

“Nick’s been kind of doing a little bit of everything so far in camp. He’s been outside some. He’s been inside some. He’s played some money for us on third down,” he said. “So, I think the thought process initially was let’s put Flott out there. He hasn’t really played out there at this level up to this point. He played a lot inside last year. So, let’s put him out there and let him get his work there, and see what we got, see what we have with the versatility aspect of that, and that will continue to evolve with both of those guys as we kind of work our way through here.”

McCloud has also been a positive influence on rookie corner Dru Phillips, who called him a role model.
