There's no need to grovel for Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. One intriguing veteran could be exactly what a team like the New York Giants need right now.
Thanks for shining a light on Jake Browning. He is one of the most mysterious oversights not only in the NFL, but even when he was at Folsom High (NorCal) . I watched many of his 229 touchdowns for national prep record (40 ints). To show how fickle recruiting systems are, he was dinged for not attending all those camps, which he did not do because he was focused on finally winning State Championship. As a prep senior he threw 91 TDs and only 7 ints. But Washington had little competition recruiting him. Started as true freshman, then as a sophomore, led Huskies to 12-2 record while throwing 43 TDS against only 9 ints. I rated him as a fifth round steal in the draft, but he signed as undrafted rookie with Minnesota. In 2021 the Vikes waived him and the Bengals stole him. I waited for him to see him in action. When Joe Burrow was injured in 2023, Browning finally had his chance. I always thought Kirk Herbstreet had no business in an NFL booth and he proved it when Browning went in.....Herbstreet knew new NOTHING of his wildly prolific and curious past. Too many lemmings in personnel. Somebody should give Jake an honest shot. BTW, Folsom has another stud QB this year, a junior, Ryder Lyons, who we rate as No. 3 overall in the 2026 recruiting class.

This is exceptional. Thanks so much for sharing, Frank.
Unbelievably fascinating.
Would do anything for the Browns to draft Travis Hunter and take a chance on Browning this season
