The future is now in the Big Apple.
The New York Giants announced Tuesday that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones will start at quarterback.
The move sends two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning to a backup and mentor role behind the No. 6 overall pick.
"Eli and I spoke this morning," coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday in a statement. "I told him that we are making a change and going with Daniel as the starter. I also talked to Daniel. Eli was obviously disappointed, as you would expect, but he said he would be what he has always been, a good teammate, and continue to prepare to help this team win games. Daniel understands the challenge at hand, and he will be ready to play on Sunday."
