The New York Giants have been linked to a number of quarterback prospects ahead of the 2024 NFL draft and the plot thickened earlier this week when Giants co-owner John Mara said he would support the decision to draft a QB.
With pro days now in full swing, the Giants have been actively scouting the draft’s top quarterbacks.
Coincidentally, both the University of North Carolina and the University of Washington’s pro days were on Thursday.
While there were representatives present for the Giants at the UNC pro day, head coach Brian Daboll attended the Washington pro day likely to see Michael Penix Jr.

Penix Jr. would likely be available at sixth overall, but there is debate on whether he is a first-round talent. However, after impressing at his pro day, one NFL coach called him a “first-round lock.”
An NFL coach just texted about Michael Penix Jr: “Freak show! Dude runs 4.5 and then jumps 37 inches. Arm strength is crazy in person. Locked in 1st rounder.” https://t.co/a8IcMSzPKr

There is a scenario where four quarterbacks go before the Giants pick at sixth overall, so if they are locked in to draft a quarterback they have to do their due diligence on Penix and possibly Oregon’s Bo Nix.
The other position the Giants have been linked to in mock drafts is wide receiver and it will be interesting to see if they will move up or down or stay at six to get the player they are targeting.
