Daniel Jones certainly wasn't the joke he was made out to be when the Giants drafted him three months ago.
Art Stapleton, Staff Writer, @art_stapletonEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The first drive of Daniel Jones' NFL career raised one question about his future with the Giants.Just jokes, of course, and Jones certainly was not the joke he was made out to be when the Giants drafted him No. 6 overall three months ago.
Jones hasn't taken a first-team rep yet in training camp, but made his pro debut with the first-team offense, albeit with Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard on the sideline, the first two as healthy scratches. He took the field to cheers. Jones broke the huddle, but the game was still in a TV timeout, so they were forced to wait.
"I think [Jones] did an unbelievable job, understanding the offense, reading the defense, putting the ball where it needed to be. He did an amazing job of going down and putting points on the board," Barkley told the NBC broadcast."We needed to respond after they scored, and he did a really good job of that, but it wasn’t only him.
"Yeah, it was a good feeling just to be in the stadium, wearing a uniform, playing the first game," Jones told NBC during the TV broadcast."So, it was good to kind of see what we’ve been doing in practice and come out here and put it to work a little bit."
