The New York Giants have been on a tear this season which is surprising based on where they were a year ago. Nobody was sure what the future held for quarterback Daniel Jones, but his recent play suggests he deserves to remain under center for the team. Now, it sounds like an elite trait of his could be the reason why the team is succeeding under Brian Daboll’s offense.
This Elite Daniel Jones Possesses Trait Could By Why Giants Are Winning
According to Art Stapleton, the Giants quarterback is showcasing an elite ability with his play fakes. New York has been phenomenal offensively and a large part of that has been the run game. However, whenever Brian Daboll calls a play action, it appears as though Daniel Jones is at his absolute best.
The most impressive part of Daniel Jones’ game this season and where I’ve seen the most growth: his play fakes.
I mean, absolutely elite, and it’s played a huge role in the Giants’ run game and when they get him out in space on bootleg passes.

When watching a Giants game, it’s easy to see that the offense runs through Saquon Barkley. So much so, that whenever New York fakes the run, opposing defenses have to bite. To make it even better, Daniel Jones is showcasing an elite ability to sell the run for play action calls.
The Giants quarterback is playing at a much higher level than we’ve seen in previous years. So much so, that the front office may consider signing him to a long-term deal. Keep an eye on Daniel Jones and this New York team, as they’re out to prove everyone wrong this year.
