When the New York Giants initially drafted Daniel Jones in 2019, the plan was to enable his development behind Eli Manning, while the veteran passer carried out his final campaign in the NFL.
After Manning lost the first two games of the season, former head coach Pat Shurmur didn’t hesitate to swap in Jones, who subsequently won his first two starts, bringing the team to a 2-2 record. While he started his young career strong, the Giants failed to build upon their 2018 season. The defense was stale, young, and unable to lock down opposing teams in the fourth quarter, forcing Jones to sacrifice his body to keep his team in the game.
