The Miami quarterback was asked before Saturday night’s Heisman Trophy ceremony what he thought about possibly playing for the Giants, who are surprisingly in the market for a new franchise QB. The team signed Daniel Jones to a four-year extension worth $160 million in 2023, but they’ve since abandoned those plans, releasing him in November. At 2-11, the Giants are tied with the Las Vegas Raiders in the race for the No. 1 overall draft pick.

Ward didn’t seem put off by the idea of the Giants taking him: “I mean, if (Giants GM Joe Schoen) wants to come get me, he knows best,” the Davey O’Brien winner said to laughs by the media on hand for the Heisman presentation.

However, he went on to say the bright lights of New York City might not necessarily be his thing. “The city of New York, I won’t be in the city probably ever,” Ward said. “I’ll stay in New Jersey for all day, every day, it’s too much out here, so I just be vibing and trying to make some football plays for the Giants.”
