Michael Eisen

It’s very likely that no one in the NFL is better suited to coach Davis Webb than Ben McAdoo.
On Friday night, the Giants selected Webb in the third round of the NFL Draft, the 87th overall selection, which is later than he would have preferred to go. Webb played last season at the University of California, and will begin his NFL career learning behind a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Eli Manning.

Once the euphoria of Carson Wentz faded just prior to the beginning of October, the narrative became the lack of productivity of the wide receivers, en masse.
