Joe Schoen checks in at Senior Bowl; talks Shedeur Sanders, Mike Kafka | GIants.com

Schoen believes the Giants will have a leg up from having two coaches at the Shrine Bowl and five at the Senior Bowl.

“To me, it’s a competitive advantage,” Schoen said. “They’re in the meetings with these kids. They get to know who’s on time, who’s late, who’s early, who can learn the playbook. To me, it’s just a competitive advantage for us, and fortunately our coaches are willing to participate in the process and they’re all in on it. They do really good write-ups on the kids. It helped us last year.”

Senior Bowl provides Giants brass a chance to evaluate later-in-the-draft QBs | New York Post

As for the players the Giants might be interested in and actually select in the later rounds, many of those prospects will be showcased this week in what is considered possibly the strongest roster ever at the Senior Bowl. This is the second year that draft-eligible underclassmen are allowed to participate in the Senior Bowl, which creates an influx of talent.

It’s been a rough year for the Giants both on the field and off it watching Saquon Barkley advance to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles. If there is one thing they can hang their hat on, however, is that they have found a legit No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers. The rookie pass catcher flashed brilliance in his first season in the league and topped 1,200 yards in just 15 games played. Once New York solidifies its quarterback situation, Nabers is primed for an explosive sophomore season.

Russell Wilson to the Giants. The G-Men reportedly had eyes on Wilson before the former Super Bowl champion signed with Pittsburgh, and now that Daniel Jones is gone, they could use his veteran arm again. We think the Las Vegas Raiders could leapfrog New York via trade for a top rookie quarterback, putting the club in desperation mode.

NFL Draft 2025: This QB could be Giants’ next Eli Manning — and it’s not Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward | NJ.com

Twenty-one years ago, the Giants drafted a quarterback from Mississippi — Eli Manning — and he wound up bringing them two Super Bowl championships. Now, they need a franchise quarterback again. Could they find that guy at Ole Miss?

Well, if they do, it would be a much bigger surprise than what Manning accomplished. But Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart — who, like Manning, was a three-year college starter — is generating some buzz leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.
