Quarterback whisperer and current Duke head coach David Cutcliffe helped develop another top 10 pick, but this time it was not a Manning.
Before the Giants even selected Daniel Jones sixth overall in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday, a lot of analysts connected Jones to New York because of the relationship between Cutcliffe and the Mannings. Cutcliffe coached both Peyton and Eli Manning.
Cutcliffe traveled with Jones to Nashville for the draft and witnessed the moment Jones got the call that changed his life.
“I was sitting to the right of him and I saw him take the phone,” said Cutcliffe.
