Daniel Jones turned 22 years old on Monday. There wasn't any big bash or momentous celebration, but because it did happen during a holiday weekend while the Giants were not practicing, he got a chance to explore his new hometown. Rather than sit cooped up in the New Jersey motel where he's staying these days, he made a couple of trips into Manhattan. And a funny thing happened while the future king inspected his realm.
Nothing.
He wasn't hounded. Wasn't noticed. Was barely recognized. Jones may represent ambition and optimism for the Giants, but this weekend he was just another Southern sightseer who strolled too slowly while gawking at the skyscrapers. It's hard to imagine any other quarterback taken with a top 10 pick walking through his new fan base with such anonymity.
