Nubin, 23, is one tackle behind linebacker Micah McFadden for the team lead with 30. Ironically, his issues arose in coverage, where he was unbelievable in 2023 at Minnesota, with a 90.1 PFF coverage grade. He flies around the field with controlled aggression and displays elite short-area quickness around the line of scrimmage. However, he’s yet to get his hands on a football, which was his calling card at Minnesota — Nubin had 11 passes defended and 13 interceptions in college. …He’s had coverage lapses and been late into the alley from depth, but overall, he’s a much-needed asset on the Giants’ backend who is making rookie mistakes.
