ATLANTA _ Being drafted by a team and then sitting around for a while is not every first-round pick's dream come true. For Dwayne Haskins, though, it might be if the Giants take him with the sixth overall selection and keep Eli Manning around to play.
"I would love it," said the Ohio State quarterback who threw for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdown passes in 2018 and figures to be one of the top quarterbacks taken in April's draft. "I grew up watching Eli Manning back when he had (Jeremy) Shockey and (Amani) Toomer and Plaxico (Burress). I loved that team."
Haskins grew up in Highland Park, N.J., and although he is only 21, insists that he has vivid memories of those Giants teams from more than a decade ago. He also said that being from the area would make him comfortable playing in such an intense market.
