Most of the time the preseason isn’t something that NFL fans look forward to, but many New York Giants fans have been curious about just how new quarterback Daniel Jones is going to do after being taken with the number six overall pick earlier in the year. Jones likely won’t start during the regular season which makes the preseason even more important for evaluating the rookie, and the Giants didn’t waste much time with putting Jones into the game.
Eli Manning only played one series before Jones was put into the offense, tossing five completions in five attempts for 67 yards – perhaps more importantly, Jones connected with Bennie Fowler for a touchdown, catching the receiver near the back of the end zone with a long pass.
