Sam Darnold: ‘It would be amazing’ if Giants drafted me

BLOOMINGTON — Sam Darnold would welcome being mentored by Eli Manning.

“I was at the Manning Passing Academy, it was a great opportunity for me to get better, and I learned a lot from Eli,” Darnold told the Post. “He’s a great guy, great personality, him and Peyton both.”

Asked how he would feel about being mentored by Manning as a New York Giant, Darnold said: “It would be amazing. If I do get drafted by New York and he was there, it’d be an amazing opportunity to get better.”

New York would not faze the former USC quarterback.
