Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Gets larger role in second season
Rotowire
Flott tallied 36 tackles (25 solo) and five defensed passes, including one interception, over 14 games in 2023.
Flott missed the first three games of the campaign due primarily to a hamstring injury, but he took over as the Giants' slot corner in Week 4 and logged at least half of the team's defensive snaps in all but three weeks thereafter. The 2022 third-round draft pick performed competently in the role and recorded his first career pickoff in Week 10 against Dallas. Flott has two years remaining on his rookie deal and figures to enter next season slated for a workload similar to that which he was given in 2023.

Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Plays in 11 games as rookie
Rotowire
Flott tallied 26 tackles (15 solo), two defended passes and a forced fumble in 11 regular-season games during his rookie campaign.
A third-round pick out of LSU, Flott was limited to two special-teams snaps in New York's opening contest of the regular season but got the opportunity start the following week with Aaron Robinson out of action. However, Flott missed all of Weeks 4 through 10 due to a calf injury, and he played under half of the Giants' defensive snaps in four of his eight games following his Week 11 return. Flott turned 21 in August and naturally still needs to further develop to reach his potential, but he showed enough as a rookie to warrant continued opportunities next season.
