How much different might the last few seasons have been, and how different would they look today, if the New York Giants had been able to draft Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert in 2019? Or, even in 2020?
Herbert was the apple of then-GM Dave Gettleman’s eye in 2019. He was in love with Herbert long before falling in “full-bloom love” with Daniel Jones before the 2019 NFL Draft. The Giants watched Herbert play at least six times in 2019. Herbert spurned the Giants and the 2019 draft, though, choosing to remain at Oregon for one more season.
