The need to find a quarterback for the New York Giants is evident, and they could find one in the Draft. However, the road seems very long for the team led by Brian Daboll, despite having the third overall pick.
The two most talented quarterbacks on paper are Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. Both players have been linked to the team, and fans are dreaming of one of them, but the Tennessee Titans, along with the Cleveland Browns, are clear favorites with the first two picks to draft both players.
Jordan Raanan, a Giants insider, indicated that the team’s plan to make a trade for the first pick “appears dead,” perhaps due to the high cost of making that move. So, with the third pick, New York could forget about drafting a quarterback and select, for many, the best prospect, the versatile and Heisman winner, Travis Hunter.
Travis Hunter would be a perfect fit for the New York Giants
Pro Football Focus analysts Jordan Plocher and Josh Liskiewitz have placed Travis Hunter with the Giants, highlighting his exceptional skills and versatility.
The Giants could be excited about Hunter for everything he could bring to the team. Offensively, as a receiver, he would form a perfect duo with Malik Nabers, who stood out for New York last season.
Hunter’s offensive numbers in his final year with the Colorado Buffaloes were impressive: 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. He also had an amazing chemistry with Shedeur Sanders.
Last season, the Giants allowed 23 passing touchdowns and only accumulated 5 interceptions, so Hunter, as a cornerback, would also help immediately with Brian Daboll’s team. Travis recorded 4 interceptions and 11 passes defended last year.
Hunter was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2024, highlighting his versatility and outstanding performance in both aspects of the game, so Giants fans could be excited about this player.
