New York Giants' secondary ranked 27th ahead of 2026 season

Pro Football Focus has ranked the New York Giants' secondary 27th among all NFL defensive backfields heading into the 2026 season. Following a challenging 2025 campaign, the unit, which remains mostly unchanged under new head coach John Harbaugh, is scrutinized for its run defense and discipline issues. The Giants finished last in PFF's run-defense grade among secondaries and committed the second-most penalties last season. Newcomer Greg Newsome II joins the group, but concerns about his recent performance raise doubts about immediate improvement. As the season approaches, the effectiveness of the secondary will be crucial for the overall defense.
