The young Giants quarterback and running back attended UFC 328 on Saturday night at the Prudential Center in Newark. The duo were shown together in the crowd and performed a light headbutt for the camera, repeating a move they had debuted during the previous NFL season.
The pair attended the event headlined by a middleweight title fight between Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev. Strickland captured the middleweight title for a second time with the victory. The quarterback and running back both had their 2025 rookie seasons impacted by injuries.
The running back suffered a dislocated ankle in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles, while the quarterback missed two games after sustaining a concussion in a Week 10 game against the Bears.
The Giants are preparing for the upcoming offseason program under their new head coach. Rookie minicamp is underway in East Rutherford, with organized team activities scheduled to begin on May 19. Mandatory minicamp follows next month. The team is looking to build on the early promise shown by the quarterback and running back before their injuries.
The quarterback, selected in the first round of the 2025 draft, finished the season with 2,272 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns and nine rushing touchdowns. The running back, a fourth-round selection, recorded five rushing touchdowns in eight games.
The offense is expected to include the return of a wide receiver from a torn ACL, while the defense will feature a fifth-overall draft pick from the most recent draft.
