If it is true there is strength in numbers, the Giants are just fine in the defensive backfield.

But if quantity does not equate to quality, the Giants could be in some trouble in their secondary.

On Thursday, the Giants signed safety Orion Stewart, who becomes the seventh new defensive back to join the team. The Giants are collecting spare parts cast aside by other teams and hoping some of them make enough of an impression to stick around on the roster.

Stewart, 24, went undrafted out of Baylor and spent last summer in training camp with the Broncos before he was waived. He spent the 2017 season on the practice squads of the Bills and Redskins and has not appeared in an NFL game.

What Stewart does do is join a crowded room. The Giants this offseason also added defensive backs William Gay, C.J. Goodwin, Teddy Williams, Curtis Riley, B.W. Webb and Michael Thomas, all with varied NFL experience and success. The newcomers will blend with seven holdovers on the roster — Janoris Jenkins, Landon Collins, Eli Apple, Darian Thompson, Donte Deayon, Brandon Dixon and Andrew Adams — and assorted other young defensive backs for heavy competition this spring and on into the summer. The Giants did not take a defensive back with any of their six picks in the draft.
