The Giants got their first glimpse of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones on Thursday night, and it was a welcomed sight.
Although it came against most of the Jets’ second-team defense, Jones quickly turned the plethora of draft-day jeers into cheers leading the Giant on a scoring drive in his lone series of the night. He was 5-of-5, throwing for 67 yards and a picture perfect touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler in the right corner of the end zone.
He was poised. He was accurate. He was in command. The one mistake? A missed motioning of the tight end on his first play, according to head coach Pat Shurmur.
