Brian Daboll confirms the Giants are considering DeAndre Hopkins
Last season Brian Daboll was named coach of the year after the impressive evolution of the New York Giants. A franchise that has been irrelevant for a few years became a playoff team in his first year there. The questions around Daniel Jones were everywhere, but they ended up giving him an extension for his improved performances.
The Giants have Saquon Barkley with the franchise tag, they traded for a weapon in tight end Darren Waller, and they also drafted wide receiver Jalin Hyatt. However, they still need more talent at the WR position. Thatās why Hopkins could be a fantastic player for them. It was the head coach who admitted they are considering that possibility.
āAnytime thereās someone thatās available as a free agent, Joe [general manager Schoen] and his staff are going to look into it. Research it. We talk about a lot of different players. Regardless of who it is, thatās part of our job, to make sure weāre doing our due diligenceā, Daboll said on Wednesdayās press conference, via SNY.
