The Giants’ changing of the quarterback guard has been agonizing for the guru who helped mold Daniel Jones and Eli Manning.
“To say the least,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe told the Charlotte News & Observer, “an emotional time for me obviously with relationships with both quarterbacks in New York.”
Cutcliffe was Manning’s head coach at Ole Miss, and watched Jones emerge from a Duke walk-on to the sixth-overall pick in the NFL draft. He also led Peyton Manning at Tennessee.
“I’m certainly more concerned at this point for Eli,” said Cutcliffe a in video statement, after initially declining to comment on the move.
