Bio
Daniel Jones is a quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, having signed with the team in March 2025 after spending the first six seasons of his career with the New York Giants. He was selected by the Giants with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He made his debut in Week 1 of the 2019 season, starting in place of veteran quarterback Eli Manning. Jones quickly established himself as a rising star in the league, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 24 touchdowns in his rookie season. Jones was the first rookie quarterback in NFL history with two games of 300+ passing yards and at least four touchdown passes – he had three of such games.
Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Jones grew up in a family that valued sports. He attended Charlotte Latin School, where he played basketball, and football, and ran track. He excelled in all sports, but his talent for football quickly became apparent.
After graduating from high school, Jones attended Duke University. He was a three-year starter for the Duke Blue Devils football team, where he completed 764 of 1,275 passes for 8,201 yards, 52 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,323 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Since then, Jones has continued to improve, showing his versatility as a passer and a runner. He has become known for his athleticism, toughness, and work ethic, and has earned the respect of his teammates and coaches. Jones has continued to develop his skills and is considered one of the most promising young quarterbacks in the NFL.
