Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins grew up in New Jersey, so it would make sense that he would really love to be drafted by the New York Giants.
Haskins isn't trying to hire his desire to play for the Giants, either, posting an image on Twitter of himself in a Giants jersey (which he then deleted).
Haskins actually posted jersey swaps of himself in a #Jaguars, #Redskins, #Dolphins and #Bucs uniform on his IG story. Only used twitter for the #Giants. pic.twitter.com/tbJrfW3G18

Haskins then took to Instagram to post pictures of himself in Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Redskins, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers attire, as seen above.
Now, did Haskins add photoshops of the other teams because he is truly open to playing for anybody, or did he do it as not to scare non-Giants teams away from drafting him?
Who knows, but what we do know is that Haskins may be the best quarterback in the 2019 NFL Draft this spring.
Haskins played two seasons at Ohio State, but did not get a chance to become the full-time starting signal-caller until this past year, when he racked up an incredible 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while completing 70 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 174.1 en route to finishing third in Heisman Trophy voting.
New York is certainly in need of a young quarterback for the future, as 38-year-old Eli Manning appears to be on his last legs under center for the Giants.
While he did not have a bad year this season, it is blatantly obvious that Manning is not the same quarterback of years past, and with a young core of Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard, and Evan Engram, it may be time for Big Blue to start thinking about the future.
