Some of NY Giants quarterback Daniel Jones’ finest performances have come with Sterling Shepard on the field, and the Giants hope that the veteran wide receiver is just getting going in 2020.

Shepard, despite somewhat limited playing time, had a strong showing in his return from turf toe in last Thursday night’s 22-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
