With training camp and padded practices in full swing, many New York Giants players have begun to stand out. That’s good news considering the lack of a preseason and the team’s need for more depth.
Here are seven players that opened some eyes during the first week of padded practices:
QB Daniel Jones
The Giants are looking for Jones to take a leap forward this year and it seems like he just might. He’s added some muscle and appears to be in sync with the new offense.
On Tuesday, Giants’ in-house reporter Dan Salamone wrote the below about Jones’ day:
“The second-year quarterback was nearly flawless during 1-on-1 drills, which pitted a receiver against a defensive back. Jones went through two rotations until his first incompletion, throwing red zone touchdowns to Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate, Corey Coleman, Austin Mack, Binjimen Victor, and Alex Bachman. Later, during team drills, Jones showed his decision-making and athleticism when he tucked the ball with nothing open and ran for a touchdown,” Salamone wrote.
