Xavier McKinney should've had a game ball too

Underrated adjustment from Week 1 for Wink Martindale was putting Xavier McKinney on Christian McCaffrey duty all day.

Only had 26 receiving yards and also had 2 batted passes when CMC stayed in to block. The safety position balled out today for the Giants.
Xavier is a stud

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on Xavier. He's kind of going under the radar but I think he's a long-term starter for us and a natural playmaker.

Was eying him as my next jersey purchase. He was 4th in the NFL in interceptions last year, despite being on a team, especially with Glennon under center, that was out of it 2/3s through the game (meaning no incentive to throw the ball downfield).

This year he's yet to get one, but we've also faced arguably the two best running backs in the NFL and have been in two very "field position-based" games. Might be looking at more of the same against Dallas, but he's going to start making his place once we get involved with more pass-happy teams.
McKinney isn't flashy but he's rock solid

Think he's going to be starting for the Giants for a long time.
