Giants want Eli Manning playing major role grooming successor

Eli Manning as the starting quarterback. A draft pick such as Dwayne Haskins waiting in the wings as the backup, absorbing as much as he can from the veteran, waiting to take over in 2020.

Think Patrick Mahomes, sitting one season behind Alex Smith in Kansas City, before moving in.

More and more, this appears to be the scenario about to unfold for the Giants. It is far too early in the evaluation process to state the Giants are sold on Haskins, considering they haven’t yet studied him closely. They have yet to see him at the combine in Indianapolis or at his pro day at Ohio State, have yet to get him in a room for a personal interview.
