NFC Offensive Player of the Week: 2019 Week 3; 2021 Week 4; 2022 Week 7

Originally a first-round (6th pick overall) draft choice by the Giants in 2019.

HONORS:

NFC Offensive Player of the Week: 2019 Week 3; 2021 Week 4; 2022 Week 7

TRANSACTIONS:

Originally a first-round (6th pick overall) draft choice by the Giants in 2019.

GIANTS NOTES:

Jones has completed 1,221 of 1,900 throws for a completion percentage of 64.3 that is the highest in franchise history (min.1,000 attempts). Eli Manning is 2nd at 60.29 (4,895-8,119)…Jones owns 2 of the 3 highest single season completion percentages in Giants history (not including his 67.5 percentage in 2023, when he did not threw enough passes to qualify for the NFL passing lead).
Jones has thrown 40 interceptions among those 1,900 passes, a 2.1 percentage that is the lowest in Giants history among quarterbacks with at least 1,000 attempts. Kerry Collins is 2nd at 2.8 (70 picks in 2,473 passes).
Jones' 1,914 rushing yards are a record for a Giants quarterback and his 13 rushing touchdowns are the most by a Giants quarterback who began his career since 1950.
In 2022, Jones threw for 3,205 yards and rushed for 708 yards and joined Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and Buffalo's Josh Allen as the only NFL quarterbacks with 3,000+ passing yards and 500+ rushing yards.
Jones, who passed for 3,017 yards as a rookie in 2019, in one of 5 quarterbacks in Giants history with multiple 3,000-yard seasons, joining Manning (14), Phil Simms (6), Collins (4) and Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle (2).
Jones threw only 5 interceptions in 2022 to become just the 2nd quarterback in history with 700+ rushing yards and 5 or fewer interceptions in a season, joining Washington's Robert Griffin III in 2012.
That season, Jones led the Giants from deficits of 10+ points 3 times in the first 6 games, tying him for the highest total by a quarterback in the first 6 games of a season since 2000. Kansas City's Elvis Grbac (2000) and Trent Green (2003) and Philadelphia's Nick Foles (2014) also accomplished the feat. Green and Jones were the only 2 quarterbacks to lead their teams to the playoffs in those seasons.
Jones - the first of the Giants' 3 first-round draft choices in 2019 - was just the 3rd quarterback selected by the Giants in the first round of the NFL Draft…The others were Phil Simms in 1979 and Philip Rivers in 2004…Rivers was soon sent to the Chargers in the trade that brought Manning to the Giants.
In 2019, Jones joined Arizona's Kyler Murray and Jacksonville's Gardner Minshew as rookie quarterbacks who passed for at least 20 touchdowns…It was just the 2nd season in NFL history in which at least 3 rookie quarterbacks threw at least 20 touchdown passes…In 2012, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and Griffin comprised the trio.
Jones was the first rookie quarterback in NFL history with 2 games of 300+ passing yards and 4+ touchdown passes – and he had 3 of them.
Jones threw at least one touchdown pass in each of his first 13 career starts, the 4th-longest streak among quarterbacks who started their careers since the 1970 merger

Jones' streak was the 2nd-longest in Giants' history; Tittle threw a touchdown pass in 15 consecutive games from 1962-64…Manning had 3 separate 12-game streaks in his 16-year career…Jones' streak ended in Chicago on Sept. 20, 2020.
Jones has rushed for 1,905 yards – the record for a Giants quarterback - on 330 attempts, a 5.8-yard average that ranks first among the 87 players in Giants history with 100 or more carries.
Jones' 708 rushing yards in 2022 were the most by a quarterback in Giants history.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

In his first 5 seasons, Jones has played in 60 regular-season games with starts in each of his last 59 appearances and started both postseason games in which he played…He is the 6th quarterback in the Super Bowl era to start at least 50 regular-season games for the Giants, joining Eli Manning, Phil Simms, Dave Brown, Kerry Collins, and Fran Tarkenton.
Jones' totals are 1,900 attempts, 1,221 completions (a Giants-record 64.3%) for 12,512 yards, 62 touchdowns and 40 interceptions for a passer rating of 85.2…Through the first 5 seasons, Jones' 1,221 completions and 12,512 yards are the 2^nd-highest totals in franchise history among quarterbacks who began their careers with the Giants, behind Manning (1,276 completions, 14,623 yards).

Jones' 64.3 completion percentage is the highest in franchise history (minimum 1,000 attempts)

Jones has thrown for at least 300 yards in 9 regular-season games (4-5) and one postseason game (1-0).
Jones has 332 rushing attempts for 1,914 yards (5.8-yard avg.) and 13 touchdowns with a long run of 80 yards. His 1,914 rushing yards are a record for a Giants quarterback and his 13 rushing touchdowns are the most by a Giants quarterback who began his career since 1950.
Since becoming the starter in Week 3 of the 2019 season, Jones has led the Giants in rushing in 15 regular-season games (plus one playoff game), the most by a Giants quarterback in the Super Bowl era…He has also had the team's longest run in 17 games, including 14 in which he was also the leading rusher.
Jones' record as a starter is 22-36-1 in the regular season starter and 1-1 in the postseason.

Completed 15 of 28 passes for 104 yards and 2 interceptions vs. Dallas (9/10)…Rushed 13 times for 43 yards…His 43 rushing yards were 2^nd-most by a Giants quarterback in a season-opening game, behind only Jeff Hostetler, who ran for 45 yards vs. San Francisco on Sept. 2, 1991.
Threw for a season-high 321 yards and 2 touchdowns while completing 28 of 37 passes (70.3%) in leading the Giants from a 21-point 3^rd-quarter deficit to a victory at Arizona (9/17)...Threw 4^th-quarter touchdown passes to Saquon Barkley and Isaiah Hodgins…Rushed 9 times for 59 yards and one touchdown...In the 2^nd half, Jones totaled 259 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, and 58 rushing yards and one score….Since 2000, Jones and Michael Vick are the only quarterbacks to post 250+ passing yards, 50+ rushing yards, 2+ passing touchdowns and 1+ rushing touchdown in one half… On Nov. 15, 2010, Vick, then with Philadelphia, threw for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 66 yards and 2 scores in the first half of a 59-28 victory in Washington. The Eagles led at halftime, 45-14.
The Giants' 21-point comeback win led by Jones tied their largest in franchise history and was their largest of the Super Bowl era… Previously, just twice in their history had the Giants come back from such a deficit in 1945 and 1949…Before defeating the Cardinals, the Giants had lost their previous 150 games when trailing by 21 or more points.

In 2022, Jones started each of the first 16 regular-season games, a career high, and both Giants' postseason games…Did not start in the season finale at Philadelphia (1/8), where the Giants rested most of their starters after clinching the 6th seed in the NFC playoffs.
Jones led the Giants to 9 regular-season victories, their highest total since 2016, their first postseason berth since 2016, and their first playoff win in 11 years, an NFC Wild Card triumph in Minnesota…Won 4 consecutive starts for the first time in his career (Oct. 2-23)…Elected one of the Giants' team captains for the 3rd straight year.

Jones was one of 5 quarterbacks to rush for at least 50 yards in 6 different games in 2022, the most by a Giants quarterback in the Super Bowl era.
Jones joined Hurts as the only quarterbacks in 2022 and is one of 4 in NFL history with at least 3,200 passing yards, a 65+ completion percentage and 700 or more rushing yards in a season, joining (Robert Griffin III in 2012 and Murray in 2020).
