The 2017 NFL Draft will be one of the most influential events in New York Giants history. Not only will general manager Jerry Reese attempt to solidify the Giants’ future on both sides of the line of scrimmage, but he’ll look for the heir apparent to an all-time great.
The decision to do so would be far from popular, but it’s been reported that New York will be drafting the long-term replacement to quarterback Eli Manning.
Manning is preparing to enter his 14th season as an NFL player. The 36-year-old has appeared in 201 consecutive regular season games, as well as 12 postseason outings, which has inevitably called his long-term future into question.
