Daniel Jones Unbothered by Baker Mayfield Criticism: 'I Think He's a Great Player'

Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones seemed unfazed by criticism from Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield on Tuesday.

"I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield told GQ's Clay Skipper in an interview released on Tuesday. "Blows my mind. ... Some people overthink it. That's where people go wrong. They forget you've gotta win.”

Jones didn't offer much for a response to Mayfield at the Giants' practice facility on Tuesday. New York's first-round draft pick appeared to take a page out of veteran QB Eli Manning's playbook.

"Yeah I've seen him play, watched him in college, and a little bit last year," Jones said.
