The New York Giants are said to be one of the many teams interested in Florida International quarterback, James Morgan.
With the coronavirus grounding scouts for the time being, teams are using every other tool in their kits to vet players eligible in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Despite those restrictions, the Giants are apparently among multiple teams “doing extra homework” on Morgan, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
“An NFL area scout based in the Southeast said that Morgan has one of the three strongest arms in the draft and praised him for his intelligence and leadership.
Several NFL teams are closely vetting Morgan, who can’t go on visits or work out privately due to the restrictions put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.
Among the teams doing extra homework on Morgan, according to NFL sources not authorized to speak publicly: his hometown Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins.”
The Giants have three quarterbacks (Daniel Jones, Alex Tanney, Colt McCoy) under contract, but they could be interested in bringing more bodies to camp when it does open.
Morgan (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) began his career at Bowling Green before becoming a graduate transfer to FIU last year. He played in the East-West Shrine Game and was invited to the NFL Combine in February where he ran a 4.89 40-yard dash.
