Daniel Jones Banking On Consistency In Prove It Year
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is excited to play in an environment of consistency for the first time in his career.
When he was drafted 6th overall in 2019, Daniel Jones took over from Eli Manning as a rookie. Then, he was playing under head coach Pat Shurmur and offensive coordinator Mike Shula.
In his second season, Joe Judge took over as head coach and Jason Garrett became the OC. As well as that, injuries have halted his progress at various points since he signed for the New York Giants.
In 27 games, Daniel Jones has 35 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He’s also rushed for 702 yards. However, he leads the NFL in fumbles in each of his two seasons with 29.

Jones is looking forward to kicking on in the second year of the current Giants project.
“I think it’s valuable,” Jones said.Â
“I think it’s valuable for all of us. It’s the second year in the system under coach Garrett and coach Judge. A lot of us are back and, like I said, have developed chemistry and know how to communicate with one another, but kind of the same theme, to start over and take it day by day, to start with step one and make sure we’re going about it the right way. We’ve got several new guys and had some time to get to know them during the spring and in the summer and we’ll continue to go from there, but definitely helps to be back with coach Garrett, coach Judge and a lot of the same guys.”

In spite of that, Jones is aware that next season, his third, could be make or break.
“At this level and in this job, we’re all expected to perform and play at a high level every day, and that starts today,” Jones said. “I certainly feel that. I think everyone on the team does and I think that’s healthy, I think that’s the way it should be and I know we’re excited for the opportunity.”
