Editor’s note: Joe Schoen ultimately did not attend Michigan’s Pro Day despite earlier reports.
The New York Giants are in the middle of a crucial offseason with the 2024 NFL draft right around the corner.

In addition to the Pro Day, the Giants will also host McCarthy for a top-30 visit.
While Schoen may eye others at Michigan’s Pro Day, the links between McCarthy and the Giants will have everyone’s attention.
McCarthy has been climbing draft boards and could still be available after the top three teams pick — all of whom are expected to be quarterbacks.
However, with the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers not eyeing a quarterback, the Giants could be jumped by another team trading up to take McCarthy at pick No. 4 or No. 5.
Schoen needs to be prepared for all options entering the draft which is why he has explored both trade-up and trade-down scenarios.
