CORAL GABLES - For New York Giants coach Brian Daboll, reality might be settling in.
Daboll was noticeably absent from the show Cam Ward put on Monday at the University of Miami. While Ward was throwing dime after dime and did his own version of the "Philly Special" on the last play of the day, Daboll was missing in action.
Was Daboll missing due to the fact he is finally is coming to the reality Ward is not going to fall to No. 3 for the Giants to select him? Ward is projected to be the No. 1 pick of the draft and the pick belongs to the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are not anticipated to trade down.
NFL insider Albert Breer took to social media on Monday afternoon to explain the Titans had a full contingency at the workout. Included in the Titans contingency was head coach Brian Callahan and offensive coordinator Nick Holz.
"Titans contingent for Cam Ward's Pro Day at the Univ. of Miami; President of football ops Chad Brinker, GM Mike Borgonzi, ass't GM Dave Ziegler, VP Reggie McKenzie, head coach Brian Callahan, OC Nick Holz and OBs coach Bo Hardegree. First pick in hand, the calvary's at The U," Breer posted on X.
Breer then posted who was there for the Giants and the Cleveland Browns.

"The Giants are represented at Cam Ward's Pro Day in Miami by GM Joe Schoen, OC Mike Kafka, and director of player personnel Tim McDonnell. The Browns have assistant GM (and former Canes LB) Glenn Cook there. Also in Miami for the Giants: QB's coach Shea Tierney, TEs coach Tim Kelly and assistant GM Brandon Brown."
It was unusual the Giants' head coach was not present with the rest of the head coaches and the rest of his staff. He might have been missing because the Giants are going to bring Ward to New Jersey for a top-30 visit. Daboll can get up close and personal with Ward at that point, and not have to share him with other teams.
