What does Adams, McCaffrey, and Hamilton have in common?
Jamal Adams father George Adams was the Giants first round pick in 1985. Big back who had a lot of ability but who never reached his potential.
Christian McCaffrey’s father Ed McCaffrey was the Giants third round pick in 1991. Most of us remember Ed McCaffrey the wide receiver. Unfortunaely he became an All Pro for Denver and not the Giants.
Darius Hamilton is Keith Hamilton's son.Keith was selected in the fourth round of the 1992 draft. One of my favorite Giants.
Ed McCaffrey and Keith Hamilton played together in 1992 -1993.
I would like the Giants to draft all three players.
Are there other draft eligible players who have fathers who played for the Giants?
beat me to it. Adams looked like he had real potential in 1985
IMHO he doesn't have the size or the talent to be a starter, but could be a contributor.
George was my tenant during his Giants days. Really a polite, respectful down to earth kid. That hip injury suddenly ruined his promising career. It would have been great to see his son Jamal join the Giants, but he is a likely Top 5 pick.
Since Jamal isn't an option, perhaps the Giants have interest in running back Stanley Williams. He broke some of George's records at Kentucky this season and had the 3rd best 3-cone drill at the Combine (6.86). Not an every play running back, but a very tough smaller back likely to get picked on Day 3.

Big Rutgers fan and agree with all of this. 3-4 DE 10 years would ago would have been his best bet. Injuries to his legs really got him.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.....
3rd RB after Fournette and Cook (not necessarily in that order, but likely)
This. Kid was a 5 star who stayed home. Problem was he was a DE who insisted on playing DT. One of the dumbest things at Rutgers for years was that they insisted on playing kids at the 3 Tech DT at 245-250 pounds. Schiano got lucky w Eric Foster and the moron Flood insisted on keeping that stupid defensive philosophy. Darius played most of his career around that 250. Awesome kid on and off the field but you better be Aaron Donald good to be undersized and even he was 275
Darius tore his knee up and red shirted finally When he finally came back last year he was up in weight finally but basically invisable on the field. Kid should have played his career at end. I do not see any way he even gets a FA look other than in a cattle call type situation for he local teams
What???
Only if the Pats had the first pick
