What Giant who played with Rosen and Darnold thinks about draft

All the NFL draft analysts and scouts seeking to uncover the secret to this quarterback class should have paid a visit to Damien Mama, a young guard trying to impress enough to stick on the Giants’ roster. This big guy knows plenty about two of the top quarterbacks for one reason: He was teammates with both of them.

Mama played high school ball at St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif., where he blocked for Josh Rosen. Fast forward a few years later. Mama started on the offensive line at USC and saw Sam Darnold come through and quickly shoot up the depth chart.
