NFL Draft Rumors: Giants to attend Cam Ward, Miami game after Daniel Jones release | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

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

Among them were the New York Giants, who are in dire need of a quarterback after releasing Daniel Jones and have placed a “major 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 one of the leading contenders for the Heisman Trophy this season, leading the Hurricanes to a 10-1 record while throwing for 3,494 yards, 32 touchdowns and 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 on New York’s social media.

Jones was benched by head coach Brian Daboll earlier this week and fell to fourth 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 46.5 quarterback rating.

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