Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been name-dropping the New York Giants since the moment he declared for the 2019 NFL Draft, and that has not slowed one bit in recent days.

Haskins has repeatedly flirted with the Giants in public, sharing photoshopped images of himself in the Giants’ uniform, saying he “hopes” to play in East Rutherford and acknowledging he grew up a Big Blue fan.

He also happens to be close friends with Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

But while the prospect of playing for the Giants seems to intrigue Haskins, what about the possibility of reaching the NFL only to ride the pine behind veteran cornerback Eli Manning?

Most would view that as a negative, but Haskins sees it in an entirely different light.

“I feel like he has always been a great quarterback,” Haskins said via NJ Advance Media. “I know he’s getting a little old, but I feel like he can still play. I know they are going through a little bad year this year but I feel like Eli can bounce back.

“He’s a legend. It’s not always about playing right away. It’s about learning what you can before you play so you are prepared to play. If I do have an opportunity to go to New York … I’ll definitely take it all in.”

Haskins will undoubtedly be happy with whatever team he ends up with, but there’s no denying he has a desired destination. And if you’re a Giants fan, you can’t help but to love everything he’s said about the franchise and its players over the last two weeks.
