Giants GM Joe Schoen Attends Caleb Williams, USC vs. Michael Penix Jr., Washington

The New York Giants could be in the market for a new quarterback.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen is in attendance for Saturday's matchup between the No. 5 Washington Huskies and No. 24 USC Trojans, which features two of the top quarterbacks in the 2024 draft class in Michael Penix Jr. and Caleb Williams.

While the Giants signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million extension in March, he hasn't shown signs that he can be the guy in New York long-term.

Jones has appeared in just five games this season due to a neck injury and hasn't suited up since an Oct. 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins. In those five games, he completed 68.9 percent of his passes for 884 yards and two touchdowns against six interceptions, in addition to rushing for 197 yards and one score.

Jones is expected to start Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, but it seems like he's fighting for his future in New York at this point.

The Giants, which sit fourth in the NFC East with a 2-6 record, figure to have a real shot at one of the top picks in the 2024 draft, so it's no surprise Schoen appears to scouting both Williams and Penix.

Williams is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft following a standout career at USC. Through nine games this season, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner has completed 68.2 percent of his passes for 2,646 yards and 25 touchdowns against four interceptions, in addition to rushing for 157 yards and nine scores.

The Trojans have struggled over the last two weeks with losses to Notre Dame and Utah, though it's unlikely Williams' draft stock has plummeted as a result.

As for Penix, he has Washington among college football's elite and has given the Huskies a real chance to secure a berth in the College Football Playoff. Washington is 8-0 and Penix has completed 69 percent of his passes for 2,945 yards and 24 touchdowns against six interceptions.

Williams and UNC's Drake Maye are considered among the tier-one quarterbacks available in the 2024 draft, per The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner. Penix is considered tier four alongside Oregon's Bo Nix and Duke's Riley Leonard.

Some of the other top quarterbacks expected to be available include Texas' Quinn Ewers, LSU's Jayden Daniels, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy.

Even if the Giants don't end up with a top-five pick in the 2024 draft, they'll have a pretty strong list of quarterbacks to choose from as potential replacements for Jones.
