Giants Rumors: Vikings' Daronte Jones Interviewed for DC Role After Martindale Exit

The New York Giants have reportedly interviewed Minnesota Vikings defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones for their vacant defensive coordinator position, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

According to Pelissero, the Giants interviewed Jones in Mobile, Alabama, at the Senior Bowl last week, where Jones was serving as the National team's defensive coordinator. Pelissero said that Jones impressed the Giants with his work as defensive coordinator.

Jones has been with the Vikings since 2022, joining the team as a defensive backs coach before moving into his current position this season. He was also with Minnesota as defensive backs coach in 2020, but left in 2021 to serve as LSU's defensive coordinator for a season.
