EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There was a play Daniel Jones made in his first career start that had the New York Giants, and most of their fans, convinced this was their next great quarterback. It came in the third quarter of a thrilling come-from-behind Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2019 season.
Jones, the No. 6 pick earlier that year, was under pressure off the edge to his right. He slid effortlessly in the pocket to his left, scanned the field and fired an off-platform bomb across his body 42.5 yards in the air. It was such a tough throw that it had just a 37% chance of completion, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
