Giants safety out of Minnesota who emerged as a productive tackler and secondary anchor early in his career.
Tyler Nubin was a second-round pick by the New York Giants in the 2024 draft out of Minnesota. He stepped into the lineup immediately as a rookie and earned All-Rookie recognition despite an injury-shortened year. Heading into 2025 he was widely tabbed as a breakout candidate in an upgraded Giants secondary.
Path to the league
Nubin was a standout for the Minnesota Golden Gophers before the Giants selected him 47th overall in the 2024 draft. He started the first 13 games of his rookie year before an ankle injury sent him to injured reserve.
Career highlights
As a rookie in 2024, Nubin finished second on the team with 97 tackles and added a forced fumble and a fumble recovery despite missing the final four games. The Athletic's Dane Brugler named him a first-team All-Rookie selection at safety.
2025 season
Pro Football Focus tabbed Nubin as an early 2025 breakout candidate, citing his run-defense and tackling grades. He paired with offseason addition Jevon Holland to give the Giants a young one-two punch at safety.
