— New York Giants (@Giants) July 23, 2019The Giants used the sixth overall pick in April's draft on the former Duke quarterback. The 6-foot-5 221-pounder is expected to begin his career backing up Eli Manning. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Monday that the Giants don't "really have an open quarterback competition," despite comments by coach Pat Shurmur this offseason that suggested Jones might have a chance to win the starting job.
The Giants now have all 10 of their draft picks under contract. Rookies and select veterans will practice for the first time Tuesday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The rest of the veterans will report Wednesday and begin practicing Thursday.
