5 Things to Know About Vikings New QB Daniel Jones


“He played the position in the league and has a lot of experience as a coach. I got to know him through the draft a little bit when he was in Washington, so that was cool,” Jones said. “His system’s been successful. He knows quarterback play, knows how to build the quarterback environment. And I think just being a part of that and learning from him and his whole staff was a great opportunity.”

The sixth overall draft pick in 2019, Jones has spent the past six-plus seasons with the New York Giants, who released him on Nov. 22. He started 10 games this season and was 216-of-341 passing for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions with a 79.4 passer rating.

Over 70 regular-season games (69 starts) with the Giants, Jones was 1,437-of-2,241 passing for 14,582 yards, 70 touchdowns and 47 interceptions. He accumulated an 84.3 passer rating.

Jones set multiple Giants franchise records in 2019, including most passing yards by a rookie (3,027), most passing touchdowns by a rookie (24) and best passer rating for a rookie season (87.7). In 2020, he set a team record for longest quarterback run when he took the pigskin 80 yards against the Eagles in Week 10.
