New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen is busy making his scouting rounds as the college football season kicks off. During the first week, Schoen attended three key matchups: Colorado vs. North Dakota State, Georgia vs. Clemson, and Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M.

While some speculate that Schoen is eyeing a replacement for Daniel Jones, particularly with Colorado’s standout QB Shedeur Sanders on display, there’s more to his trip than just quarterbacks. Colorado boasts a versatile two-way threat in Travis Hunter, and Notre Dame has a top-tier cornerback in Ben Morrison. Georgia, as always, is loaded with NFL-caliber talent.

Beyond the Game Tape.

Scouting isn’t just about what happens on the field during games. The true value lies in what scouts like Schoen observe off-camera. It’s about building relationships on campus, evaluating players when the spotlight isn’t on, and gathering insights that can’t be captured on TV. This behind-the-scenes work is critical in making informed draft decisions.

The Daboll-Sanders Connection.

On a related note, it’s worth mentioning the growing relationship between Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll and Colorado Head Coach Deion Sanders, who happens to be Shedeur Sanders’ father. During the NFL Honors ceremony, Sanders presented Daboll with the AP Coach of the Year award, a gesture that showed mutual respect. As they left the stage, Daboll told Sanders about a potential recruit for Colorado, and the two immediately got on the phone with Sanders’ recruiting chief. This connection could be significant as both teams look to build for the future.

This scouting trip by Schoen highlights the Giants’ commitment to finding the best talent, not just for today but for the future.
