The Giants could not have scripted the Daniel Jones debut any better if they allowed general manager Dave Gettleman to submit a screenplay.
The rookie quarterback subbed for starter Eli Manning with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter of Thursday night’s preseason game against the Jets. What followed was the blueprint for that the franchise hopes will be a sign of exploits to come.
Jones flashed the potential the Giants insist he oozes after making him the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He went 5 for 5 for 67 yards on a perfect drive he capped off with pinpoint 12-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler in the right corner of the end zone.
