New York Giants: The Truth About Davis Webb Not Starting A Game In 2017

In 2017, New York Giants former head coach Ben McAdoo, yelled out to rookie quarterback Davis Webb, “Hey, the next three weeks, you’re in.” That simple statement marked the beginning of Webb’s professional career, and would have set the stage for him going into his sophomore season as Eli Manning’s backup.

Despite the vote of confidence in Webb by McAdoo, his coaching career came to an end before his third-round selection could ever walk out of the tunnel to start a regular season game. The cries from fans to give the rookie live-action went unnoticed, but that didn’t stop Webb from competing and improving every day.
