Jones quickly signed with the Vikings for the chance to learn from esteemed head coach/playcaller Kevin O’Connell, who elevated quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold to new heights. He finished the regular season on the practice squad and was elevated to the No. 2 spot for the playoffs but never took a snap in Minnesota.

Daniel Jones is young and talented enough to replace Anthony Richardson as the Colts' franchise QB. Stranger things have happened. Like, Sam Darnold.

Jones is far from perfect competition for Richardson. The former Giants quarterback played his way out of a four-year, $160 million deal in less than two years in New York, has a history of injury and has not produced big plays as a passer despite being much more accurate than Richardson.
