Daniel Jones had one of the best first starts for a quarterback in NFL history. It thrust his profile from that of a backup and draft day reach into the kind of stardom that few ever get to experience.
His jersey became an instant best-seller. Fantasy football managers scrambled to claim him. Every sports network has shown reels and reels of his highlights since Sunday. It’s been a whirlwind for him, having been named starting quarterback of the Giants just a week ago Tuesday and already solidifying himself into that role.
