The New York Giants feel the pressure. They know that the quarterback position is often what decides keeping and losing a job in the NFL. 

They're doing work on multiple rookie quarterbacks and have already signed a veteran quarterback in free agency. They remain interested in potentially adding another option prior to the draft as well, according to recent reports. 

Giants' potential interest in Tyler Shough

The Giants will be represented at Louisville's Pro Day on Tuesday, according to Jordan Ranaan. Cardinals Quarterback Tyler Shough seems to be a player on New York's radar. 

Shough is usually projected as a day two or three selection, according to most NFL mock drafts and experts that are discussing it on a daily basis. As an older prospect, the pro ceiling is a potential concern for Shough, along with his lengthy injury history.

For the Giants, the Shedeur Sanders talks have been constant on social media in recent days. Adam Schefter even relayed that veteran QB additions for New York may not take them out of the running for taking Sanders in the top three picks. The interest is clear. 

"Whether they sign Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, I don't think it changes anything… If the Giants love Shedeur Sanders enough at No. 3, I don't care who they have between now and the opening night of the draft, I still think Shedeur Sanders would be the pick if that's who they believe in." — Schefter via Anthony Rivardo

Schefter also mentioned that New York is still in the market for Wilson, even after signing Jameis Winston to a two-year contract this past weekend. The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers have also had reported interest in Wilson. 

The Aaron Rodgers domino is yet to fall, too. That seems like the biggest piece of this whole puzzle. No one knows where he will land – or if he will simply just choose to retire. 

If he goes to Pittsburgh, the Giants may choose another veteran QB to add to the room. At that point, it would be fairly crowded before drafting Sanders or Shough (or another rookie). 

Regardless, it sounds like everything remains on the table as for the future of their QB position under HC Brian Daboll. Let's see how it shakes out in The Big Apple.
