Dane Belton Fantasy Stats

New York Giants safety Dane Belton was making plays seemingly every practice this spring and had three interceptions in the five workouts open to the media. ESPN's Jordan Raanan writes that the former fourth-rounder in 2022 will have a role as the third safety this year, even if he's not a starter. It appeared as though Belton was going to be an afterthought after the team signed Jevon Holland earlier this offseason, but that just hasn't been the case. "He has been really good for us here early. Like he's had a really good spring," defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. "[We're] finding ways to get him on the field, what he can do for us to help us." The 24-year-old defensive back showed some progress in his third year in the league in 2024, finishing with 56 tackles (28 solo), one sack, one interception, six pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 games (six starts).

New York Giants rookie safety Dane Belton (collarbone) has suffered a broken collarbone and will be sidelined an extended period of time, according to sources. It's a tough break for the fourth-rounder, as he had been making a strong impression in training camp. There remains hope that he can be ready for the start of the regular season, but The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton is reporting that Belton will miss six to eight weeks. The 21-year-old should return at some point this season, but he'll miss valuable repetitions in training camp and the preseason leading up to his first NFL campaign.
