The New York Giants have been praised for having one of the top offensive coaches in the league. When Brian Daboll was brought in, there was excitement about Daniel Jones’ potential growth, especially after Daboll’s success with Josh Allen. Initially, Jones showed improvement under Daboll’s guidance, leading to a career-best season and a hefty contract.
However, Jones experienced a worrying decline in performance in 2023, sparking speculation that the Giants might consider moving on from him. Recent rumors suggest the team is eyeing UNC standout Drake Maye as a potential replacement.
"Coach Daboll, you've seen what he's done with quarterbacks. They've got a good thing going."

Maye has expressed interest in playing for the Giants, particularly because of Daboll’s reputation for developing quarterbacks. But snagging Maye won’t be easy for the Giants. He’s projected to be picked third overall by the New England Patriots, leaving the Giants waiting until the sixth pick.
Although the Patriots have hinted at the possibility of trading down, they haven’t been impressed with the offers they’ve received so far. This means the Giants might have to make a significant offer to secure Maye.
Whether the Giants can pull off such a move remains uncertain, but there seems to be mutual interest between Maye and the Giants. Only time will tell if they can make it happen.
