Eli Manning: It will be easier for Daniel Jones to lead without me in the room

Earlier this offseason, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning said he thinks that this offseason “has the potential to be” a difficult one for Daniel Jones.

Jones took over for Manning early in his rookie season and Manning said he feels the 2019 first-round pick’s progress could be blunted by the lack of an in-person offseason program while learning the new offense being installed by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. While that would be a negative for Jones’ on-field outlook, Manning said on SiriusXM NFL Radio Monday that there’s one place where things should be a clear positive for the younger quarterback.
