The New York Giants have made a strategic move to strengthen their defensive lineup by signing veteran cornerback Tre Herndon. At 28 years old, Herndon brings six years of NFL experience from his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he developed a volatile yet experienced track record in coverage. This addition aims to deepen the secondary and inject seasoned competition, particularly in the slot cornerback role.
Herndon’s Role and Impact on the Giants’ Secondary
Last season, Herndon was on the field for 482 snaps, during which he allowed 485 yards, three touchdowns, and achieved six pass breakups. His performance earned him the highest PFF coverage grade of his career, underscoring his capability in pass defense.
