Remember when names like Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold plagued the media leading up to the 2018 NFL Draft? You probably also remember the New York Giant being linked to both heavily. Obviously, GM Dave Gettleman elected to take generational running back Saquon Barkley instead – a controversial move but one that helped the Giants become the highest scoring team in the NFC East.
Nonetheless, the team moved forward with the intention of retaining Eli Manning as the starting quarterback. One year later, he remains in the same position – 38-years-old, playing for a rebuilding team that simply can’t let go of two Super Bowls that occurred over eight years ago.
