## 2026 Outlook

Tyler Nubin entered the NFL as a ballhawk after recording 13 interceptions in 55 college games at Minnesota, but has struggled to replicate that production in his first two seasons with the Giants—only 3 passes defensed, 1 fumble recovery, and 0 interceptions in 26 games. His athleticism has been questioned as a factor in his lack of play-making and tackling production. New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson's zone-based, attacking scheme prioritizes getting safeties' eyes on the quarterback, mirroring Nubin's college system where he thrived. Wilson uses two-high safeties, quarters coverage, and aggressive corner press coverage. Nubin shed 8 pounds in the offseason to return to his rookie playing weight of 205 lbs, focusing on speed and aggressiveness. Giants HC John Harbaugh is optimistic: "I expect him to get back to where he was in college with the ball production. That would be great. I'd love to see him get his hands on a lot of footballs." (per Tyler Nubin hopes 'opportunistic' defensive scheme unlocks ball skills).
