From first glance, New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones almost looks as if he could be Eli Manning’s offspring. Not only does he portray similar facial expressions, but he has the same demeanor and attitude towards success as Eli.
The Giants really outdid themselves in finding their new quarterback. The plan seemed simple – find a passer that resembles Manning but with better physical attributes.
Jones has similar mechanics, given to him by a shared coach in David Cutcliffe. The rookie’s arm motion nearly replicates Peyton Manning’s. The way all three have dealt with the media, especially Eli in New York, the methods they utilized to prepare for big games, and their mentality towards practice, is almost eerie.
