Colt McCoy
When Eli Manning hung them up earlier this year, it was obvious the Giants needed to fill out their quarterback room, and they did so by going out and signing Colt McCoy.
The addition of McCoy certainly wasn’t flashy, but the Giants weren’t looking for that. What they needed was a veteran with experience and someone who could step in and start if need be. McCoy fits that bill however ho-hum it may seem.
Although McCoy’s NFL career has been far from stellar, he was highly decorated at the college level and has a wealth of knowledge — especially when it comes to other NFC East teams.
“Playing in the NFC East, you get a pretty good feel for players and coaches,” McCoy said on Sirius XM Big 12 Radio. “I just looked at it as an opportunity to play for a Giants team that has a new coach and a new system and a lot of guys that I’ve played against, but I don’t really know personally.”
So long as he remain healthy, McCoy should be considered the front-runner to back-up Daniel Jones in 2020.
