“#Daniel Jones takes Giants leadership step with Texas workouts<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Daniel Jones has succeeded in getting his Giants teammates to follow his lead \u2013 a huge step in the development of a young quarterback who turned 23 two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Jones, entering his second NFL season, organized an off-site throwing and catching program with his skill players \u2013 ones scattered across the country, forced to stay out of the Giants facility amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Last week and again this week, Jones brought the group together in Austin, Texas, The Post has learned. The arrangements were helped along by Colt McCoy, the former University of Texas quarterback, who signed this season with the Giants and has strong connections to his alma mater.<\/p>\n

Wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton and tight end Kaden Smith were among what was described as \u201ca pretty good group of guys\u201d in attendance during the two weeks of sessions, which included plenty of football and also a fair amount of golf.<\/p>\n

This was a come-as-you-go deal, with as many as 15-20 players participating at various points in time. Based on social media<\/a> posts, receivers Golden Tate and Corey Coleman, star running back Saquon Barkley and Jon Hilliman made their way to Austin as well.<\/p>\n

Running the routes designed by new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, discussing the concepts in the passing game<\/a>, together, on the field, and having Jones get in sync with his targets are all necessary steps that Jones made sure he and his teammates would be able to take during this unusual offseason.<\/p>\n

Jones back in mid-May acknowledged he felt an increased responsibility to emerge as a team leader, saying \u201cthat\u2019s something I need to take seriously, and I certainly do.\u201d<\/p>\n

One source said the sessions have been going \u201cgreat\u201d and that Jones, at this early juncture of his career, was able to pull it off is a sign he is \u201ctaking some leadership, which is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is also a positive sign regarding McCoy, the 33-year old entering his 11th NFL season and first with the Giants. McCoy spent the past six years with the Redskins and is considered a useful sounding board for younger quarterbacks. Helping Jones find a suitable location to hold the throwing sessions is in keeping with McCoy\u2019s reputation as a loyal backup.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel and I have had several conversations,\u201d McCoy said not long after he signed in April. \u201cI think most importantly, it\u2019s just \u2018Man, I know you had Eli [Manning] in there and you understand the value of a great quarterback room. I don\u2019t want that to change. I\u2019ve got your back. I\u2019m fully supportive of you.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Jones assembled his teammates away from the Giants facility. In early February, two days after Super Bowl LIV in Miami, Jones, having recently completed his rookie year, and his receivers got together at Duke, Jones\u2019 alma mater, for throwing sessions. This picked up where Manning left off, as Manning regularly organized these sessions at Duke, where his former head coach at Ole Miss, David Cutcliffe, is currently the head coach.<\/p>\n

Before the coronavirus hit, Jones was staying in his New Jersey apartment and he was able to get together a few times to throw with Giants teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that was valuable,\u201d Jones said back in mid-May. \u201cThat was valuable to get that time together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones waited out the pandemic back home at his parents\u2019 house in Charlotte, N.C. He found a small group of former high school and college teammates to throw to while social distancing. As far as learning and working on the new concepts in Garrett\u2019s system and getting the routes down, Jones relied mostly on Zoom chats and discussions, before the get-together in Austin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese conversations, a lot of our meetings have to do with routes, trying to get on the same page, trying to see things the same and talk through a lot of that, talk through a lot of those finer points,\u201d Jones said before the Austin workouts. \u201cI think we can still work on those things. Although we\u2019re not able to get on the field, we can work to come to understandings about how we\u2019re going to run certain things, when we\u2019re going to look for certain routes and that sort of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants\u2019 all-remote offseason program ends on Friday. As of now, players will report to training camp July 29.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
