NFL Draft Rumors: Giants Attend Cam Ward, Miami Game After Daniel Jones Release

Several NFL teams attended the Miami Hurricanes' 42-14 blowout win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to scout projected top-5 pick Cam Ward, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Among them were the New York Giants, who are in desperate need of a quarterback after releasing Daniel Jones and placed a "key focus" on Ward.

In the Hurricanes' victory, Ward completed 27-of-38 passes for 280 yards and three total touchdowns, while throwing one interception.

Ward is a top contender for the Heisman Trophy this season, leading the Hurricanes to a 10-1 record while throwing for 3,494 yards, 32 touchdowns and posting an 89.4 quarterback rating.

The senior's standout performance on Saturday comes after six-year Giants veteran Daniel Jones and the team "mutually agreed" to part ways, according to a statement made on New York's social media.

Jones was benched by head coach Brian Daboll earlier in the week, dropping to fourth string on the team's quarterback depth chart after a disappointing season.

The former Giant recorded 2,070 passing yards this season, throwing eight touchdowns and seven interceptions while posting a quarterback rating of 46.5.

The Giants will continue to evaluate their future at the quarterback position as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
