That’s the biggest thing for me. I love winning, and I’m a team guy. That’s what I’m going to be in the locker room. Kirk, he’s an amazing guy. I actually watched the [Netflix’s] Quarterback series with him. And seeing he’s a man of faith, just like me, he’s all about his family. I really enjoyed that."

ESPN reports there is a strong belief by some in the league that QB Drake Maye is the New York Giants' guy. Perhaps it has to do with him being the most similar to Daboll's former pupil, QB Josh Allen. Maye is the one who could force New York to mortgage part of its future in order to address the most important position on the roster. He also could benefit from sitting a year behind QB Daniel Jones. "He's only 21 years of age," Mel Kiper Jr. said. "He's going to keep getting better. ... If you want to hit the home run, you take QB Drake Maye."

Dobbins and RB Gus Edwards signing in free agency. But that doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t draft another, as Harbaugh favors the kind of offense that will have plenty of carries to go around.
