Starting with the basic detail. Daniel Jones was born on May 27, 1997, to his parents Becca and Steve Jones in Charlotte, North Carolina. He has his siblings by his side Becca Jr, Bates, and Ruthie.

Daniel gets along quite well with his siblings. Instead, they look up to each other in a certain aspect.

And during his childhood days, he was a huge fan of Eli Manning, the formal football quarterback in the NFL, who has given fifteen long years to New York Jets.

Here’s a tweet where we can catch young Daniel wearing Manning’s jersey number 10.

Daniel always looked cute as a kid. He dreamed of becoming a quarterback in the NFL since his third standard days.

Family Line

Daniel belongs to a family where everyone is related to sports. Since the beginning, they had a family rule that no matter what, one has to attend any sports events as much as possible.

They could not miss school sports on Saturdays, which they regard as the best days of life.

Becca is the oldest one and 25-years old, also named after her mother. She played hockey for four years at Davidson College. She was as playful and skillful playing hockey as her mother was.

Bates, Daniels’s brother, is 21 years old by now. He again is enrolled on the men’s basketball team, serving as a forward at Denver College.

 

Ruthie is the youngest and jolliest kid in the family. She also follows Daniel at Duke University. She is a soccer player and was also titled to the U.S. Soccer site for the Under-15 Girls’ National Team.

Daniel Jones | High School Career

He went on attending Charlotte Latin School in Charlotte, North Carolina. During his time in high school, he gathered 6,997 passing yards and 98 touchdowns.

It was a normal and average kind of score, but sadly, he was hardly hired by any colleges there. Rival.com, one of the four-star recruits, did not even rank him.

However, later Daniel initially went to  Princeton University but eventually attended Duke University to play college football.

Daniel Jones | College Career

As he was transferred according to the rules. He was redshirted for the first year at Duke University.

Daniel got to play as a sophomore only when Thomas Sirk, the quarterback, suffered a bad injury in 2016.

Daniel kicked off the season quite well, scoring sixteen touchdowns and nine interceptions, completing 270 passes.

His scorings for touchdown and interceptions increased to 14 and 11 for his junior year.

Furthermore, this must be his first career-winning highlight. Daniel was titled the MVP of the postseason college football bowl game, 2017 Quick Lane Bowl. He was competing against Northern Illinois.

One more achievement was added to his list during his senior year.

Daniel was upgraded to MVP’s title in the 2018 Independence Bowl, where he yielded 423 passing yards and five touchdowns against the 2018 Temple Football team.

He also received the MVP award for the 2019 Senior Bowl game.

Daniel Jones | Professional Career

The New York Giants drafted him with the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Well, clearly, it has not even crossed two years of his professional life as he made his official debut on August 8, 2019, against the inter-league rival New York Jets.

The most interesting phase of his life would be when he got to play as a backup behind the man he looked up to his whole life.

You must have a hint by now because the man is Eli Manning. He got to play his first regular season against Dallas, where he lost a fumble.

Daniel was titled the starter of the game against Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.

He, along with his team, bet the Buccaneers and became the seventh rookie in NFL history to have the game-winning urge.

Daniell became the NFC Offensive Player of the Week in 3rd week. He gave his team two regular wins against Washington Redskinns and Buccaneers.

Not only that, he received the Pepsi Offensive Rookie of the Week in the 16th week for his brilliance as a rookie player.

Coming to 2020, Daniel became the team captain for his second season. Prior to this, Eli Manning earned that honor and responsibility for thirteen years in a row.

It seems like Daniel was seriously following in his idol’s footsteps.

Daniel had to face a hamstring injury in week 12 against the  Cincinnati Bengals that led him to miss the rest of the games.

His coach, Joe Judge, has shown optimism, but we have to wait for Daniel to respond to recover as soon as possible.

Daniel Jones | Personal Life

One cannot wonder if this handsome, young, and sensible man can really go single. Daniel has a massive female fan following. Thus, the curiosity goes whether this young quarterback is single or not?

To the fandom out there, Daniel is really not single. He has been rumored to be in a romantic relationship with his topmost favorite fan, Ella Bonafede.

They studied together at Duke University, and Ella was a long-time cheerleader for his only boyfriend.

 

Ella was born in Cleveland, Ohio but spent most of her life in Long Island, New York. She also plays for the Women’s Lacrosse team and received the ACC Academic Honor Roll four times. Julian Edelman is her favorite athlete.

She always seemed to cheer for Jones and share sweet motivational messages on Instagram.

But the real question is, Are they still together?

Aligning with online sources, Ella has changed her Instagram account to private and also unfollowed Daniel.

However, Daniel is still following Ella on Instagram. But there are no such updates. That pretty much sums up that things are sour between this couple. T

And this apparently happened during the quarantine days.

Keeping the love affair talks aside, Daniel is also a graduate in Economics from Duke University.

It seems like he is not only good with football on the ground but also with the graphs in the notebook.

People also ask

How did he receive his nickname “Danny Dimes”?

Okay, there is no such exciting reason behind this. He was given this nickname during the early start of his rookie year.

It just happened randomly. Here, dimes mean throwing a pass perfectly, and he was expected to do so.

And Danny was something that rhymed well with Daniel. Also, the first letter of both the word matches.

Henceforth, Danny Dimes happened ahead of his rookie year. He was pretty okay with it. His teammate Alex Tanney also supported his unique nickname.

Moreover, Daniel was called “Swag” in his early days at Charlotte Latin in North Carolina. And following that, he was nicknamed ” The Future” at Duke University.
