NFL quarterback power rankings: NFC East edition
3. New York Giants
Daniel Jones: 2019- 3,027 yards, 26 Total TD, 12 INT.
During his time at Duke, Daniel Jones played in 36 games. He threw for 8,201 yards with 52 passing scores and 29 picks. He completed 59.9 percent of his throws.
Jones was then selected with the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by Dave Gettleman and the New York Giants. Fans were not pleased, especially since he went before Haskins.
As you can see, it looks like Gettleman got it right with Jones over Haskins. Once the team elected to bench franchise icon Eli Manning for the rookie, Jones made sure people knew he could play in the NFL.
Jones won his first start and had four total scores in the win. He went on to have three 4+ passing touchdown games and five games of 300+ passing yards (including his first start).
Over his last seven games, Jones looked particularly good. He completed over 62 percent of his passes with 1,883 yards, 18 passing scores and five picks.
Jones won over those fans that booed his selection on draft night. He also made moving on from Eli Manning much easier. If he can clean up his ball security, specifically the fumbles, he is ready to take the next step for the Giants.
