With a new regime coming in, the New York Giants have several players who will be looking to impress during the 2020 season. Some were already here when Joe Judge and his coaching staff arrived. Some were brought along after they were hired.
The last three seasons haven’t been all that kind to Big Blue. After that 11-5 season in 2016, they have gone a combined 12-36. The hope is the new coaching staff can change the team’s fortunes, but it will also come with players performing under pressure.
Here are five Giants who are under the most pressure in 2020:
QB Daniel Jones
This comes as no surprise. The second-year quarterback faces a ton of pressure leading the offense. Jones had a promising rookie campaign, enough to build on in hopes he can be under center for years to come.
Outside of his 24 total turnovers, Jones showed he can lead an offense downfield. He has the arm talent, the mobility and the intelligence to be a successful quarterback in the league. But his second season has to prove he can continue building on the success he had.
There are few players under more pressure than the quarterback, regardless of the situation. But Jones is facing a Year 2 that will be crucial for his development down the road.
