Ah yes, Davis Webb: The former Cal Berkeley quarterback who, after heading to the Giants in the 2017 draft’s third round, was potentially going to be Eli Manning‘s successor.
Okay, it wasn’t like Webb becoming the future starting quarterback of the Giants following Manning’s retirement was a legitimate foregone conclusion. But, Webb was in the building before other possible successors such as Kyle Lauletta and Daniel Jones, so there was at least a thought to it.
A thought that abruptly disappeared, however, when the Giants cut Webb prior to the 2018 season.
