New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones is saying all the right things following general manager Dave Gettleman's controversial decision to use the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft on the former Duke signal-caller.
According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, Jones knows it is up to him to change the perception that he was a bad pick: "It's my job to make people believe in me. I understand that. There is a lot of work to do, and I'm excited to do it."
It is no secret that a large portion of the Giants fanbase reacted negatively to New York taking Jones with Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins and Kentucky pass-rusher Josh Allen still on the board.
