Last year was nowhere near easy for Daniel Jones. Coming in as the No. 6 overall draft pick — and a selection that not many New York Giants fans agreed with — Jones needed to essentially replace longtime Big Blue quarterback Eli Manning. On top of that, he didn’t have a consistent support group. Saquon Barkley battled an ankle injury for much of the year while Sterling Shepard spent a significant amount of time in the concussion protocol.
But through it all, the former Duke Blue Devil threw for 3,027 yards and 24 touchdowns and surely impressed NFL analyst Chris Simms.
