My Take
Daniel Jones is one of the more polarizing quarterbacks of his draft class, but I think he gets unfairly judged. His 2022 season, when he protected the ball and used his legs to lead the Giants to a playoff win, showed the dual-threat ceiling people forget he has. Saddled with shaky offensive lines and constant roster churn, he rarely got a fair shake in New York. He is mobile, smart, and tougher than critics admit. Whether he ultimately becomes a long-term starter elsewhere, I am rooting for him to prove the doubters wrong.
Overview
Daniel Jones (born May 27, 1997) is an American football quarterback. A standout at Duke University, he was selected sixth overall by the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent several seasons as the Giants' starting quarterback, leading the team to a playoff win following the 2022 season before later continuing his career with other franchises.
