When I looked into New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' production from his rookie 2019, I was pleasantly surprised with how well he did.
In spite of a bad final record, last year’s sixth overall pick finished with 3,027 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions on 459 passing attempts (62 percent completion rate). Among the 28 quarterbacks since 2000 to attempt 400 or more passes in their rookie year, in fact, Jones’ touchdown rate was the second-highest and his interception rate was 10th-lowest. He also added 279 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 45 rushing attempts.
