Daniel Jones and Giants ready to give 'dead snap' a chance

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones doesn’t care how the football gets back to him when he’s in the shotgun formation as long as it gets there.

Jones is a natural athlete: He's proficient in golf, basketball, plays ping pong in the locker room and, of course, football. So when Jones was asked by new center John Michael Schmitz (this year’s second-round pick out of the University of Minnesota) whether he was OK with the “dead snap” technique that Schmitz used in college, there wasn’t much to consider.
