4 reasons DeAndre Hopkins should sign with the NY Giants
By Zak Musso
1. Daniel Jones and DeAndre Hopkins would work wonders together
Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with Big Blue for a reason. He is a franchise quarterback.
Jones’ 2022 season was revolutionary. Danny Dimes set career highs in completions, passing yards, average yards per pass completion, passer rating, QBR, rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, games played, and fourth-quarter comebacks. The Giants quarterback also set a career-high in passing attempts while posting the fewest interceptions and fumbles of his career.
Hopkins stated he wanted to play with an elite quarterback. Jones posted the league's sixth-best QBR in 2022. QBR is a statistic that measures a quarterback's overall performance. His sixth-place finish indicates he is a borderline elite quarterback. Jones posted a better QBR than Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, and Rodgers last fall.
Danny Wheels' ability to run the football, as well as Barkley's, puts fear into opposing defensive coordinators, which forces those coaches to stack the box and play Giants wideouts one on one. Hopkins would undoubtedly dominate those situations.
