So after a recent camp practice, I got the chance to chat with Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and could not let the interview pass without tailoring the Kay/Eli question to him: Is Daniel Jones an elite quarterback?
What Jones told me in response reveals a lot about where he is as Manning’s successor entering his fifth season.
“I’m very confident in myself,” Jones said. “I’m very confident that I can play this game at a high level and lead this team to win a lot of games.”
He paused before adding: “Yeah, I’m very confident in myself.”
Daniel Jones has been doubted since he came into the league. The initial narrative was that it was a massive reach by the Giants drafting him. After having a good year last year people are saying he is still just mediocre. Daniel Jones will get a chance this year to prove all of those doubters wrong.
