NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Giants may select a quarterback early in this spring’s draft, but it doesn’t sound like they are ready to turn over the most important position on the field to a kid.

Or to a veteran not currently on the roster.

Head coach Pat Shurmur confirmed on Wednesday what has been reported by numerous outlets: the Giants are prepared to have Eli Manning back in 2019, presumably as the starter to begin the season. Speaking at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Shurmur said he was impressed with how the aging two-time Super Bowl MVP performed last season in certain situations.
