As of right now, myself and just about everyone reading this article was wrong about Daniel Jones. Heck, I even pleaded for the New York Giants to avoid him with their No. 17 pick, saying he wasn’t a legitimate first-round talent.
There’s no shame in being wrong, and I’m very glad I was wrong. So far through his first eight starts, Jones is completing 63% of his passes for 1,985 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. Of course, he’s still a rookie and has a lot to improve on, mainly pocket awareness and holding on to the ball, but to say he’s exceeded initial expectations is an understatement.
