In 2022, Daniel Jones had a standout season with the New York Giants, accumulating 3,205 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, which helped the team secure a playoff spot with a wild-card victory.

However, his 2023 season was marred by injuries, including a neck injury followed by a season-ending knee injury, limiting him to 2,070 passing yards and eight touchdowns over just 10 games.

After struggling with a 2-8 record in 2023, Jones was released by the Giants and briefly signed with the Minnesota Vikings, although he did not play any games before joining the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts signed Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract, positioning him to compete for the starting quarterback role.

This competition is further complicated by Anthony Richardson's recent shoulder injury, which may provide Jones with an advantage.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen has praised Jones for his performance during OTAs, noting that he has been doing a 'helluva job' and demonstrating quick learning and intelligence in grasping the offense.

Jones himself has expressed confidence in his progress this spring, highlighting the significance of preparation and a solid understanding of the offensive scheme.

Meanwhile, Richardson, selected fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, has had a rocky start to his career, posting a combined passer rating of 67.8 over his first 15 starts.
