The No. 6 overall pick in 2019 finishes 2021 with 2,428 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions over 11 games.
Veteran Mike Glennon has started the last three games for the Giants, throwing for 477 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions before being replaced by Jake Fromm in Sunday’s 21-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
New York seems likely to move forward with Fromm as the starting quarterback for the rest of the season after the former Georgia Bulldog completed six of 12 passes for 82 yards in relief of Glennon on Sunday.
