Thanks to Next Gen Stats we are able to find out how fast Daniel Jones was going while accelerating on his 80-yard run Thursday as the New York Giants faced the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jones was heading toward NASCAR speed as he went from 51 miles per hour to 21.23 mph while at the New York 43.
Unfortunately, there were 57 yards left. He kept up to a respectable 18.59 MPH at the Philly 20. And then it all went South … to the ground.
At the 12, Jones was down to 10.15 and as he tumbled to the Lincoln Financial Field Turf he was grinding at 7.23 MPH when he landed at the 8.
