Daniel Jones did not get a warm welcome at the Yankees game

Daniel Jones didn’t have to throw a pass before being welcomed to The Bronx.

The Giants’ first-round pick out of Duke attended Monday night’s Yankees game against the Rays, and received boos when he was shown on the jumbotron at the Stadium in between innings.

The 22-year-old quarterback, who is expected to learn behind Eli Manning after being taken sixth overall by Big Blue, was a controversial selection. Most experts didn’t expect him to be taken so early, though he did impress Giants coaches and teammates during spring workouts.

Yankees fans, however, aren’t willing to give him the benefit of the doubt apparently.
