For a while, NY Giants quarterback Daniel Jones hasn't given the Big Blue faithful much to get excited about. We all know how the 2023 season went for him. However, could Jones be ready to prove everyone wrong once and for all? We'll find out once Week 1 gets here.
With that said, Jones has been on his grind this offseason in not only recovering from his torn ACL, but focusing on getting his body right as a whole. In a new workout clip courtesy of QB country, several things stick out. Most notably, Jones appears to have a quicker release going. Oh, and the man has shoulders that don't quit:

Giants QB Daniel Jones is looking noticeably bigger in a workout clip
Jones looking pretty jacked? Yup, that's the case and he's also moving around pretty well despite suffering his serious knee injury last campaign. Jones is expected to be fully cleared for the start of training camp and then his focus will shift to the preseason and the season-opener vs. Minnesota.
After everything he went through last fall and winter, he'd surely love nothing more than to get people off his back thanks to a brilliant showing at MetLife against the Minnesota defense. This new workout clip has provided people with some optimism, but let's remember there's a big difference between throwing on a high school field and having 300-pound linemen trying to rip your head off.
It's easy to look good in these types of clips, but they're not going to matter if you can't read a defense and get the ball out quickly when it matters. Fortunately for Jones, the pieces have been put in place for him to have a bounce-back year.
We can't stress enough how important the new-look offensive line is going to be for him. Plus, the addition of No. 6 overall pick Malik Nabers provides him with a WR1 who has Pro Bowl potential. Jones will have no excuses in the coming months. It's time to ball out or get ready to be labeled a first-round bust forever. Let's hope the latter doesn't prove to be the case.
