This off -season, the New York Giants Cornerback signed Paulson Adebo to an agreement of $ 54 million over three years to help stabilize their volatile and incoherent border game.
The team thought he had had an anchor in the choice of first round of 2023, Deonte Banks, but he left the rails a little during his second season, and the director general Joe Schoen had to find a young veteran to fulfill the role.

The 26 -year -old was a third round choice in 2021 in Stanford by the Saint-Orleans saints And played four solid years there. Adebo was authorized to press the Libre Agency in March while the saints supported the reset button. The giants jumped.
“This is why you sign guys, because you think they can help your football team,” said Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll at the start of the training camp. “Adebo is a big corner, long corner with good experience, puts production on football. The work of a corner looks a lot like a safety work, probably less communication skills, but they must be able to play man to man, they must be able to play in the deep part of the field and they must be able to tackle. These are three prerequisites for playing at the corner.”
Adebo is in pencil as a n ° 1 corner of the Giants with banks and Coe’dale Flott in the running for work n ° 2 on the field. Adebo is not concerned at the start of the camp.
“I think the competition is between everyone, including, right?” Adebo asked journalists after training on Monday.

“There are not yet any starting jobs. There are no depth graphics that have been published. I think of the list, everyone is in competition. No matter the competition groups, we all know that at one point, you must be there by putting your best foot.
But he knows that his recent contract makes him the best dog in the corner this summer. Adebo focuses on his acclimatization like the giants to do things as well as on his recovery from a broken femur who limited him to seven games last season, but he remains very aware of what is happening on the field.
“Tae and Cor’dale, guy, they compete their buttocks. Really, I think their approach to game, pre-practical, post-pratic, work. As I said, I think everyone really does a great job in this perspective,” he said.
Adebo is healthy now and cannot dwell on the past. He knows that he has a unique opportunity here with the Giants.

“I am always focused on the present; everything that happened had to happen,” he said. “So, you could always say:” Oh, you might have “, you can play this game whatever you want. But for me, it is a question of being present, of being where your feet are, and obviously, this situation led me here. I am incredibly grateful, honestly, that it happened because I am in the position in which I am at the moment with a big team, a big group of guys.”
