He plays the game a little like Patrick Mahomes,\u201d Colinsworth said on Fox Sports 1\u2019s \u201cThe Herd\u201d with Colin Cowherd on August 22. \u201cWhen you watch him play, it\u2019s not the first read that he typically beats you on.

That is just 383 fewer yards than Jones has thrown for over the last two years combined. But Jones is heading into the second year under head coach and QB whisperer, Brian Daboll, who already elevated him to the levels we saw last season.<\/p>\n<p>Jones is also a talented scrambler, though his intentions are often to run whereas Mahomes looks to throw more often. The Giants quarterback rushed for 708 yards last season \u2013 just 31 fewer yards than Mahomes has had in the last two years combined.<\/p>\n<p>He is good at it, too, finding the end zone seven times. And that isn\u2019t to say Jones doesn\u2019t extend plays to throw.<\/p>\n<p>But he was a strong runner with the ball in his hands.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"nl\" dir=\"ltr\">DANIEL &amp;$%8#!* JONES<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa: CBS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5TKIDur3as\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/5TKIDur3as<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New York Giants (@Giants) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Giants\/status\/1609645637343281153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 1, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is true than [sic] Zach Wilson is the Mormon Michael Vick,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_TheKendrick\/status\/1694424790587625932\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweeted @_TheKendrick<\/a> about Collinsworth\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>Jones did inch closer to Mahomes on the contract rankings, inking a four-year, $160 million contract this offseason.
