Emotional Daniel Jones ‘still trying to process’ benching by New York Giants

Daniel Jones was emotional, but typically accountable as he met with the media on Thursday for what might have been his final press conference as a member of the New York Giants.

Jones arrived to the podium inside the Giants’ Quest Diagnostics Training Center, an unusual occurrence for a mid-week interview with a prepared statement. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft said that playing for the Giants had been “a dream come true” and said that he was “100 percent accountable for my part” in the Giants being 2-8.

Jones, normally stoic, grew increasingly emotional as the roughly 11-minute session with media moved along.
