The 6-foot-5, 220 pounds Daniel Jones assisted the New York Giants to conclude the regular season with a 10-8-1 record advancing to the postseason for the first time since 2016 by dint of his mobility, strength, and quickness.
However, as only a good quarterback is aware, a successful season not only brings him considerable fame and notoriety but also increases the pressure for the next season. Jones has therefore put on a lot of weight to keep himself in check since he is under a lot of strain.
Daniel Jones increases muscle mass by 10 pounds in the offseason
The Giants’ first-round pick of the 2019 NFL draft, held him responsible for every win and loss of the team since his rookie year. In his four seasons with the team, he was at his best last year, setting franchise single-season QB marks for completion percentage (67.5), rushing yards (708), and rushing touchdowns (7).
The quarterback has always benefited from his size, quickness, and toughness, but prior to this season, he had become more nimble and concerned about them. Albert Breer, an NFL insider, claims that he has gained about 10 pounds of muscle as he gears up for the upcoming season.
“I’ll spare everyone the first-one-in, last-one-to-leave cliché about Jones’s offseason—even if it is true. Beyond that, he’s gained about 10 pounds of muscle and is moving better than he has at any point in his pro career. More important, he’s playing faster.”
This offseason, the Giants extended the deal of their veteran quarterback for a further four years and $160 million. This demonstrates that they are falling short of putting their complete trust in MJ, who did not spare any expense to further their renown.
Jones rejected an invitation to join Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’
The first season of the “Quarterback” docuseries, which focused on the 2022 season and the off-field lives of Marcus Mariota, Kirk Cousins, and Patrick Mahomes, was very well-received and popular. The production company has already made it known that they have decided to bring the second season of the documentary.
It was proposed that the illustrious quarterback of the Giants play a key role in the upcoming campaign. Jones admitted to watching the program and finding it to be very entertaining on Boomer & Gio on WFAN.
“I’m not,” Jones told WFAN’s Boomer & Gio when asked if he’d appear in Season 2. “I thought it was a great show. I really enjoyed watching it and seeing those three guys — kind of their process and how they prepare. Each of them a little bit different. I thought it was a great show.”
However, the 26-year-old disclosed that he has received a role offer for the forthcoming season. Despite his persistent desire to call it a “great show,” he declined the invitation.

He went on saying, “I’m not doing it. Yeah, I’ve been asked. Like I said, I think it was a great show and they did a great job with it.”
Daniel is naturally modest and reserved, and he places greater importance on keeping things between himself, his teammates, and family members secret and out of the spotlight.
Jones loves to come into the limelight only by dint of his athletic prowess that he has already proven throughout his timing with the Giants.
