Expectations for Daniel Jones
Mara stopped short of heaping over-the-top praise on second-year quarterback Daniel Jones, but did credit him with a solid rookie year and an impressive offseason.
Still, Mara says, Jones needs to take the next step in his development in 2020 and establish himself as a higher tier quarterback.
John Mara feels good about Daniel Jones. He would like to see him make the next step, and he is confident that will happen. What makes Mara so high on Jones is that the coaching staff is so high on him, too. He showed a lot of grit and promise as a rookie. "The sky is the limit."
