Former New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara is back with Big Blue before he retires from the NFL. The DB, who was a member of the Giants’ 2011 Super Bowl team, is signing a one-day contract so that he can officially hang up his cleats as a member of the team that drafted him.

Amukamara was the No. 19 overall pick out of Nebraska in the 2011 NFL Draft. As a rookie, the DB was part of the Eli Manning-led squad that took down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for a second time to win the Giants' second Super Bowl in four years.

The first-round pick broke a bone in his foot during the Giants' 2011 training camp and missed the nine games of the season. Amukamara came back in Week 11, though, and played the final seven games of the regular season as well as all four postseason games behind New York’s veteran starting CBs, Aaron Ross and Cory Webster.
