Tennessee's Grant Williams Revealed a Crazy Fact About Giants QB Daniel Jones and We're Speechless
By Scott Rogust
Daniel Jones singlehandedly made the New York Giants the most talked-about team in the NFL following his selection in the first round of the NFL Draft. Being selected at sixth overall -- higher than many expected, to say the least -- will certainly do that.
The Giants are trying their hardest at selling the Duke quarterback to their rather skeptical fanbase. Allow Tennessee Volunteers basketball star Grant Williams to help out Dave Gettleman and Co.
While speaking with the media at the NBA Draft Combine, Williams recounted a time in which Jones dunked on a gigantic 5-star recruit while they were AAU teammates on the hardwood.
You read that right. Jones dunked over a top prospect that stood almost seven feet in height. That's no small feat.
While Jones didn't play any basketball for the Blue Devils, he does have some serious basketball skills-- so much so that ESPN's Jay Bilas believed Jones really could have played for Coach K.
We've seen Saquon Barkley hurdle over NFL players, and we may very well see Daniel Jones do the same thing when he utilizes his mobility outside of the pocket in the next year (or three).
