EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY—Now that the New York Giants have invested the sixth overall pick in former Duke quarterback Daniel Jones, speculation has already begun on how soon we’ll see him take over for Eli Manning.
Don’t let what general manager Dave Gettleman said deter any possible thoughts. His words that Jones could sit behind Manning for two or three years are just those … thoughts. Barring Manning playing at an MVP level this season, Jones will be the starting quarterback in 2020.
In today’s NFL, you don’t take a quarterback with the sixth overall pick to have them sit on the bench past their rookie season.
