Jalen Pitre - Scores as nickelPitre recorded two tackles, one for a loss, and scored on an interception return in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.ImpactPitre, playing the nickel cornerback, kicked off the scoring when he stepped up to pick off an ill-advised pass from Daniel Jones for a five-yard interception return for a touchdown. The pick six was set up by defensive end Derek Barnett, who had Jones in his clutches as the ball was thrown. Pitre is returning to a hybrid style he thrived in at Baylor, playing both safety and the nickel. Not playing exclusively at safety will likely result in fewer tackles for Pitre, who had 147 during this rookie 2022 season and 84 last season.
