Could Jones' muscle hinder his throwing ability? This former quarterback believes a bigger frame can do more harm than good.
Almost as soon as the swelling from his ACL surgery subsided, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones hit his rehab hard. This process apparently included adding some upper body muscle to help him better endure the hits he encounters when he is deployed as a runner.“I know Daniel Jones,” said Daniel. “He’s trying to bulk himself up because he’s a pretty good runner, too.”
Daniel’s point was not to compare Jones, who is facing a make-or-break season, with Mahomes, who is right now the best passer in the game since Tom Brady retired. However, he does raise a legitimate question as to whether Jones’s focus on adding upper body mass could impede his throwing motion. “Look at Tom Brady–his talks on pliability. You actually want to go all the way back and then all the way through because when you’re throwing the ball, your arm can only go forward as fast as it can slow down so you want to work a lot of this backside shoulder cuff."Jones has put on muscle before training camp in previous years, but it’s hard to say for certain if it’s affected his throwing ability. Thus far in his first three full training camp practices, Jones has been inconsistent.
