While the Barkley victory stung for obvious reasons, it’s something that has become a trend for the Giants in recent years. In fact, it’s the fifth straight time one of their former first-round picks has earned a Super Bowl ring for another team.

Saquon Barkley spent six years with the Giants and won one playoff game. He's now in the Super Bowl with the Eagles, Big Blue's bitter rivals.

ESPN’s Matt Bowen recently released his list of best team fits for the top 50 free agents, ranking Wilson at No. 42 and linking him to the Giants. While New York is widely expected to select a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bowen believes Wilson could serve as a valuable bridge option.

The New York Giants have the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which is almost guaranteed to land them either Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward, assuming they opt for a quarterback over another position.
