Kay Adams brought all of the Daniel Jones dating jokes to Tuesday’s installment of her “Up and Adams” program amid unfounded rumors the two are an item following a viral training camp interaction earlier this summer.
When previewing Big Blue’s Week 1 matchup against the Vikings with new Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor, Adams asked how he plans to protect Jones, sarcastically referring to the 27-year-old quarterback as her “boy.”
“You gotta protect your boy, my boy, the world and internet thinks [he’s] my boy,” Adams said as Eluemunor erupted with laughter.
As Adams herself began cracking up, she continued, “I don’t even want to talk about it. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Eluemunor — who joined the Giants this offseason after three years with the Raiders — acknowledged the buzz swirling around Jones and Adams, who appeared to fumble her words while conversing with the scruffy signal-caller at Giants camp in August, with the exchange naturally igniting a frenzy on social media.
“Jermaine, a girl can’t win. I’m trying to hype up your boy,” Adams said on Tuesday’s show, to which Eluemunor replied, “I mean, Daniel’s a great-looking guy.”
That’s when Adams asked the big offseason question.
“Is he keeping that beard?” she said.
Eluemunor then shared his stance on Jones’ facial hair.
“I’ve been telling him to keep the beard,” the 29-year-old lineman said. “My beard is not as good as his beard.”
Adams playfully wrapped the conversation with Eluemunor by instructing him to “go protect my boyfriend.”
It’s not just the Vikings defense who Jones will be feeling the pressure from Sunday.
Now two years into a four-year, $160 million deal, Jones is looking to prove doubters wrong as the Giants turn the chapter on a disastrous 2023 campaign, in which they were blown out by the Cowboys, 40-0, in their season-opener and lost Jones for the season in November with a torn ACL.
“I think right now it’s about what we’re doing here and focusing on 2024 being the best team we can be now,” he told The Post’s Paul Schwartz.
The Giants kick off against the Vikings from MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m.
