When the New York Giants drafted Daniel Jones sixth overall, it was ridiculed. When the Giants didn't pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal, that seemed to cement him as a bust. By the end of his third season, the only hope was that new coach Brian Daboll could completely turn him around. It's not like the Giants gave him a lot of talent to throw to.
Former general manager Dave Gettleman did a lot wrong, but maybe he got it right with Jones. Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings in a wild-card playoff game was mostly about Jones being awesome.
