Prospects that Giants have met with?

Breeze_94 : 3/2/2021 9:54 pm
Anyone hear any rumblings on who the Giants have taken an interest in yet? I know it's early and obviously different this year with the combine being cancelled, but feel like it's been quiet.

The only 2 names I've heard so far are

RB Chris Evans Michigan, who met with all 32 teams but Giants, Vikings, Pats, and Seahawks were 4 teams he mentioned as having the strongest connection with (@rosvogloureport)

RB Javian Hawkins met with Giants (@justinM_NFL) From TheDraftNetwork

couple of interesting late round RB's. Both more speed/shiftiness than power
They met with every player at the Senior Bowl

As did every NFL team. The Senior Bowl set it up like the Combine so every team would get 15 minutes with each player.

RB is a need.

To me, it looks like a draft that is pretty decent with RB prospects, too. So we should be able to find a few who could surprise.

Agreed! I also like the idea posted on another thread of looking for UDFA RBs...the league is filled with guys that contribute but were not drafted.

No surprise on meeting with RBs.....

Barkley needs a solid back up.

I miss the Brandon Jacobs style punch you in the face RB. It’d be nice to get a guy that could pound the ball, like Henry.

would look for a one-cut downfield running RB to pair with Barkley - someone in the Najee Harris mold - but bw is correct, Barkley's injury may force a recalculation. They may want to look for a more dual threat RB in case SB struggles to get back to 100%.
Announcements of meetings and team interest usually come from the

Players and their agents, so if you aren’t hearing a lot, they probably aren’t happening.

Has the league made a decision on allowing pre-draft visits? I think a lot of the “interviews” will be at pro days where there will be limited one-on-one opportunities, and “face time” interviews after the pro days are over.

I wonder if the league is going to control the number of face time interviews.
Don’t beat me up for this, but

With all the talk above about drafting a RB, does anyone else have visions of Tucker Fredrickson when we see Barkley? We got snake bit with Tucker, I pray that this skid makes it back to full strength, but the best thing about Tucker was him being an analyst on Sundays.
