Steelers, Giants Eye QB Kyle McCord Pre-Draft

Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord, who set records for passing yards and touchdowns, is drawing significant attention ahead of the NFL Draft, with visits to the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. McCord, a former Ohio State player, had an impressive 2024 performance with 4,779 passing yards, despite a challenging game against Pitt where he threw multiple interceptions. The Steelers have shown particular interest in quarterbacks, suggesting they might select one in the upcoming draft. McCord's visit to the Giants is part of their strategy to evaluate long-term quarterback options, despite recent acquisitions of veteran quarterbacks. He is projected to be a mid-round draft pick, with potential to develop into a starter despite weaknesses in mobility and decision-making under pressure.
