Giants receiver Golden Tate says he hopes Daniel Jones’ time as Eli Manning’s protégé will pay off as well as Aaron Rodgers’ years as Brett Favre’s understudy did.
Big Blue should be so lucky.
The Giants decided not to replace the aging Manning, and have kicked the can down the road until at least 2020 on making any lasting switch at the quarterback position.
But they did spend the sixth overall pick in the draft to select Jones out of Duke. And Tate, one of the Giants’ acquisitions in an offseason overhaul, has come away impressed with Jones.
