Giants won’t have to pick a side with Paulson Adebo as top cornerback option
NY Post
When the Saints drafted Paulson Adebo in 2021, he didn’t need to instantly become their top cornerback. That title, and those responsibilities, belonged to Marshon Lattimore — who’d already made three Pro Bowls in his first four seasons, won Defensive Rookie of the Year and had established himself as one of the premier corners in the league.
Instead, over the next four years, New Orleans kept Adebo mostly on the left side and Lattimore on the right.
“It wasn’t necessarily a preference thing or me kind of choosing it,” Adebo recalled Thursday, but rather just the result of their luxury.
In his first four NFL seasons, Adebo logged 94.4 percent of his wide cornerback snaps on the left, according to Pro Football Focus.
Even dating back to his college seasons at Stanford, Adebo — with the exception of the limited occasions when the Cardinal played a big receiver — stuck to one side, too, he said.
But the Giants, at least for now, don’t have a top-flight cornerback to play alongside Adebo.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
