NextImg:Giants’ Daniel Jones rejected offer to be on Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’

Like the rest of the world, Daniel Jones has enjoyed watching the hit Netflix docuseries “Quarterback.”

But that’s as far as his interest goes.

During Monday’s broadcast of WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio,” Jones was asked if he’d like to be part of the Netflix production, which was picked up for a second season.

That’s when Jones professed his admiration for the series, but denied wanting to be a part of it and revealed he had already declined a request to join the program.

“I’m not. I thought it was a great show,” Jones said when asked by co-host Boomer Esiason if he’s tempted to be in the series.

“I really enjoyed watching it and seeing those three guys (Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota), their process and how they prepare, each one a little bit different. I thought it was a great show.”

That’s when Gregg Giannotti asked Jones directly if the 26-year-old had been approached by the show’s producers about joining the program.

The Giants quarterback was hesitant at first before finally answering. 

“Yeah, I’ve been asked,” Jones said. “Like I said, I think it was a great show, I think they – you know – did a great job with it.”

Jones confirmed it was his decision to pass on Netflix and wasn’t made by the Giants on his behalf.

Season two of “Quarterback” seems to have run into the same problem that “Hard Knocks” dealt with earlier this year before the Jets were selected (against their will) to host the training camp series.

According to Outkick, several NFL stars have expressed a desire not to be on “Quarterback,” including Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Dak Prescott, Geno Smith, Justin Fields and Jimmy Garoppolo.

There’s little doubt Jones would have been a compelling subject to follow after a breakout season in 2022.

Jones helped the Giants to make their first playoff appearance since a wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers in 2017 and pick up their first postseason victory since beating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI back in 2012.

For his work, Jones was rewarded in March with a four-year, $160 million contract.
