EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — For the first time in about a decade, the New York Giants seemingly don’t have to worry about Eli Manning getting hurt.
In just two preseason games, first-round draft pick and heir apparent Daniel Jones has shown he can play in the NFL.
Take a look at the statistics. Jones is 16 of 19 for 228 yards and two touchdowns. He’s completed 84.2% of his passes with a 151.8 quarterback rating.
No one ever would have felt the same about former backups Geno Smith, Alex Tanney, Davis Webb, Josh Johnson, Ryan Nassib or Kyle Lauletta in recent years.
