EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—It’s a dawn of a new day for the New York Giants as Daniel Jones will make his first NFL start on Sunday. It’ll come on the road; the Giants will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers.
When the Giants selected Jones with the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, everyone knew he would see playing time sometime this season. But no one could have envisioned that by Week 3 he would be the starter despite his impressive preseason.
But on Tuesday, head coach Pat Shurmur made the announcement that Jones will be the starter on Sunday.
