Add another well-connected NFL insider to the voices of those who have connected Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer to the New York Giants within the last 24 hours or so.
On the heels of media insiders Peter King and Albert Breer doing so Monday morning, former New York Jets GM and Miami Dolphins executive vice president Mike Tannenbaum did do during a Monday evening pre-daft media conference call.
“Even though they have Darren Waller, just given Waller’s age and his challenges he’s had from a durability standpoint I think receiver makes a ton of sense, corner makes a ton of sense, but I wouldn’t rule out someone like Mayer if he’s there as well,” Tannenbaum said
Dalton Kincaid of Utah is Tannenbaum’s top tight end in the 2023 draft class, but he believes Mayer is also a first-round player.
