Justin Hilliard of the New York Giants has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2022 regular season for violating the NFL Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.
Hilliard is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games. He will be allowed to return to the Giants’ active roster on Monday, Sept. 19, following the team’s Week 2 game vs. Carolina.
Terrion Arnold doesn’t mind being put on an island. In fact, he’ll set up camp and put a roof on it.
The Alabama All-American is Daniel Jeremiah’s top-ranked cornerback (No. 9 overall prospect) at the NFL Scouting Combine and stole the show during his media availability Thursday morning here in Indianapolis. The same thing is surely going on behind the scenes during his interviews with teams.
A native of Tallahassee, Fla., Arnold said his confidence comes from his grandfather, who is a roofer.
“I like to correlate roofing with football,” Arnold said. “My granddad always told me on that roof, no one is coming to save you. So, when I’m on that roof and I’m on that 8×12, 10×12 and it’s a high pitch walking up there, you’re slipping on the fiberglass, you kind of get a little rocky, a little shaky, and you know that if you lose confidence in yourself, you’re going to slip and fall. It’s the same way with corner and being a human being. If you don’t have that confidence to come in and take over a room and have that presence, nobody is going to have that confidence in you.”
The Giants, who hold the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, have decisions to make in their secondary this offseason.
Cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson, who has started 36 games in three seasons with the Giants, and Darnay Holmes, a former fourth-round draft choice by the team, are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents when the new league year begins in two weeks. Safety Xavier McKinney is also set to hit the market at that time if he isn’t tagged by March 5.
