In the midst of speculation and rumors surrounding the New York Giants' quarterback position, head coach Brian Daboll provided clarity on the team's stance, insisting that Daniel Jones would remain the starting quarterback once he is fully recovered and healthy.

Daboll addressed the topic during an interview with NFL insider Tom Pelissero at the NFL league meetings. Despite the Giants signing Drew Lock as a veteran backup quarterback, Daboll emphasized that Jones is "the guy" for the team in the near future.

"We're excited to have Drew, and he knows what his role is going to be," Daboll stated. "He's going to get a lot of reps this spring, he needs to learn our system, but again excited to get Daniel back. When he gets back, he'll be the guy."

Jones' future had come under scrutiny due to concerns about his long-term health and his performance during the 2023 season. As a result, rumors circulated that the Giants could potentially select a quarterback early in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. However, Daboll's comments indicate a continued belief in Jones as the team's starter.

The Giants have expressed optimism regarding Jones' recovery from surgery for a torn ACL. The team hopes that he will be able to participate in training camp and be ready to play when the regular season begins.

While the Giants' decision to sign Lock raised questions about Jones' position, Daboll's reaffirmation of his trust in Jones suggests that the team remains committed to their young quarterback. As Jones works towards recovery, the Giants appear determined to support him and provide him with the opportunity to lead the team once again.

As the offseason progresses and training camp approaches, the Giants will eagerly monitor Jones' progress, hoping to see him back on the field and ready to contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season.
