Senior Bowl provides Giants brass a chance to evaluate later-in-the-draft QBs

MOBILE, Ala. — If the Giants want to get a good look at the player they might select with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they need not spend any time this week scouring the prospects assembled for the Senior Bowl. 

That player — whoever it is — will not be there. 

That general manager Joe Schoen and the full force of the Giants front office, scouting department and coaching staff will be at this event this week shows that this draft, or any draft, is far more than what goes on in the first round. 

Whether the Giants at No. 3 go quarterback, with Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward — if either is available — or bolster their defense with edge rusher Abdul Carter or cornerback Will Johnson, or strengthen both sides of the ball with dynamic cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, is worth investigating at another time.

None of those players will be in attendance and thus none will participate in the practices here or play in the game Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the South Alabama campus. 

Before arriving at the site of the Senior Bowl, the Giants scouted the East-West Shrine Bowl practices in Frisco, Texas.
