Giants getting close look at QB prospects at Senior Bowl; will Mike Kafka call plays again?

MOBILE, Ala. — Neither of the consensus top two quarterback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, were in Alabama to soak up the sun or the spotlight this week at the Senior Bowl. A hard time about ‘Hard Knocks’ It felt like you couldn’t have a conversation about the Giants this week without someone bringing up their participation in the first-ever offseason version of “Hard Knocks” last year. With Barkley breaking records for the Super Bowl-bound Eagles, Giants co-owner John Mara’s now-infamous line — “I’ll have a tough time sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia, I’ll tell you that.”— remains ever-present in the football-watching world. I’m enjoying the process.” Kafka arrived in New York in 2022 with Daboll and called plays for the Giants in the regime’s first season, which included a playoff win. He really changed that organization around, I feel like, and he’s just a legend there,” said Dart, who surpassed Manning last season to become Ole Miss’ all-time leading passer.
