Giants rookie Tyler Nubin's fiancee Farah Alkurdy shows off game day fit for Lions preseason
Tyler Nubin is one of many rookies suiting up for the New York Giants this season. The second-round pick out of Minnesota is expected to bolster a secondary that also includes Deonte Banks and Jason Pinnock.
Expected to be a very keen observer at his games is his fiancee Farah Alkurdy. She showcased a bespoke white tank top bearing Tyler's name in red letters across the chest and a hat with his uniform No. 31 in red-bordered blue. He responded:
"My superfan that also gets to b my wifey"
Is Tyler Nubin the next Giant to get married?
At least two Giants players used the time off to get married after mandatory minicamp ended in the middle of June, and Tyler Nubin could follow them soon.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence II made the first move towards the end of June when he married Donna McCain. Two days later, it was tight end Jack Stoll's turn, as he and Carolyn Thayer exchanged vows at The Broadmoor, a luxury resort in his native Colorado.
Nubin could join them next, as he and Farah Alkurdy announced their engagement just under a week after Stoll's wedding. In an Instagram post, the prospective lawyer wrote:
"Perfect day, perfect moment, perfect man, perfect life. Can’t believe the man of my dreams is about to be mine forever. Don’t know what I did to deserve you but I thank God every day that we found each other. I love you LTF, Fiancé."
Hard Knocks reveals Tyler Nubin was not Giants' first DB option in the Draft
As the Draft approached, it was well known that Joe Schoen was looking for a WR1 with his team's first-round pick. But for the second-rounder, Tyler Nubin was not the first choice to bolster the secondary.
After getting their man in Malik Nabers, the Giants pivoted towards one of Kool-Aid McKinstry and Kamari Lassiter. But they went to South division teams (New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans, respectively) back-to-back.
Hence, Nubin. Schoen said that he didn't regret the move:
"(Trading up) just didn't make sense. For us to move up in the second round, we probably would have had to give up a fourth-round pick. As much as some of the players we really liked that would have helped us that were there and went before we picked, the plan was to be patient.
"We knew we were going to get a good football player based on our numbers and how the board was set.”
Another defensive back, Andru Philips, went 70th overall later that day (Day 2) out of Kentucky.
