New York Giants 2013 Team Roster: Report Card Grades for Every Position | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Player                       Position

Corey Webster            LCB

Prince Amukamara      RCB

Aaron Ross                 CB

Terrell Thomas            CB

Jayron Hosley              CB

Trumaine McBride        CB

Amukamara is a rising star in this unit, a player who, according to ProFootballFocus.com (subscription required) last year allowed opponents to complete just 52.4 percent of their passes for 375 yards, 114 of which came after the catch, and two touchdowns.

This summer, after more than holding his own against teammate Rueben Randle in practice, Amukamara held opponents to just 79 yards on six receptions (out of 13 targets) and zero touchdowns. He also had an interception and two pass breakups.

Webster, who is likely in his final season as a Giant, is coming off a disappointing and injury-filled 2012 season, allowed 59 of 96 passes thrown his way to be completed for 988 yards and eight touchdowns, as he fought through a hamstring issue and a broken hand.  

Limited this preseason by knee and groin injuries, Webster's health could very well be a concern moving forward, as opponents are sure to target him more than Amukamara.

One of the feel-good stories of the summer is the return of Thomas from two consecutive ACL surgeries. Whether Thomas remains at cornerback or moves inside to safety is still to be determined, but that he didn't have any setbacks in his rehab is a positive sign for this unit.

Hosley, in his second season, has continued to struggle with consistency. A late-summer ankle injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to threaten his availability for the regular-season opener against Dallas, but the second-year player needs to take fewer gambles and play a smarter game when on the field.

McBride was a surprise addition to the cornerback rotation, just beating out rookie Charles James. It's not known at this time if the Giants will actually keep six cornerbacks, as the thinking is one will be cut when safety Will Hill's suspension is over.

However, for the time being, since Thomas and Ross, the latter projected to be the team's nickel corner, both can play safety, the thinking is that either of them could move inside if injuries should happen during a game.
