When the New York Giants make their third-round pick (67th overall) in the 2022 NFL draft, the team’s all-time leading receiver, Amani Toomer, will be announce the choice.
Big Blue’s first pick (5th overall) was also announced by a special guest on Thursday night when Make-A-Wish recipient, Sam Prince, revealed the Giants’ selection of Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Sam Prince, you got your wish! Thank you @WishNJ for making dreams a reality 💙

Toomer was, of course, a member of the Giants during the 2007-2008 run to Super Bowl XLII and remains the team’s all-time leading receiver. An accolade that many expected Odell Beckham Jr. to take given his first couple of the years in the league. But with Beckham gone, Toomer’s spot as the franchise’s leading receiver is safe for now.
Toomer was selected in the second round of the 1996 draft and was one of the more reliable and consistent players during his career with the Giants. And now it come’s full circle as Toomer will be announcing Big Blue’s third-rounder.
