Count Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield as another person who was surprised that the New York Giants took Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
Mayfield, who set the rookie single-season record for most touchdowns by a rookie quarterback in 2018, was being interviewed by GQ Magazine when an ESPN segment about Jones came on the television.
“I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield said. “Blows my mind.”
Jones selection by the Giants was ripped by fans and pundits alike, many pointing to his losing record as a starting quarterback at Duke and his less than stellar completion percentage.
