Case Cookus
The Giants signed Case Cookus as an undrafted free agent and although some will dismiss him as “camp fodder,” you may want to pump the brakes on that line of thinking.
Scott Gorman of the Pro Football Network once referred to Cookus as the “best FCS quarterback prospect since Jimmy Garoppolo,” which is saying something.
Obviously, that may be an extremely optimistic take on Cookus, but there’s clearly some talent there and perhaps the Giants view him as a bit of a project. After all, Joe Judge comes from the New England Patriots, where Bill Belichick & Co. routinely take fliers on project quarterbacks only to turn around and trade them.
Cookus clearly does not project as a long-term option for the Giants given the presence of Daniel Jones, but perhaps they’ll look to stash him on their practice squad for emergency purposes with the long-term goal being to trade him and acquire some additional picks or assets from a team in need.
We pretty much know what to expect from every other quarterback on the roster, but the same can not be said for Cookus. That makes him one of the more interesting players to watch entering training camp.
