NEW YORK _ There will be a moment before Thursday night's Giants-Jets preseason game that Daniel Jones will take for himself. It won't last long _ maybe just a few seconds _ but the Giants' rookie quarterback will look around MetLife Stadium and let it soak in that he's about to make his first appearance as a professional football player.
It might be when he runs out of the tunnel leading to the field. Or when he arrives at the locker room for the first time. Or looks up into the stands and sees the fans he hopes to impress in the coming years.
"First time walking out there, whether that's warmups or before the game, I think I will take a moment and look around," Jones said. "I'm excited for that."
