Russell Shepard made the catch of the day at Friday’s practice, stretching out to pull in a long pass on a post route for a touchdown in 11-on-11 drills.
But it wasn’t the catch that impressed Shepard. It was the throw. And who it came from.
At the other end of the arcing spiral was rookie Daniel Jones.
“He throws a beautiful ball,” Shepard said on Saturday.
So far in training camp, that’s been something the Giants seem to be toying with: Jones throwing deep. On his first day of practice he threw a pass on just about the same route that he hit Shepard with, but this time Bennie Fowler dropped it.
