Remember "Eli Jones"?

Anakim : 4/24/2019 3:12 pm
Remember in the months leading up to the 2004 Draft that some "draft experts" would say, "if Eli's last name wasn't Manning; if he was Eli Jones, he wouldn't be the #1 overall pick." And that whole "Eli Jones" narrative continued until he won his first Super Bowl. And here we are with the prospect of taking his clone (according to some) Daniel Jones.



And Daniel Manning? Daniel Manning? Danny Manning? I feel like this marriage to Daniel Jones is destined to be. It's kismet....God help us.

Abraham (as in Yelverton Abraham Tittle) to Eli to Joshua (as in Rosen) ... but I guess Daniel was an Old Testament guy too.
Spell. Check ...

I know. That's why I spelled it that way and not "Daniel"
