Is the Daniel Jones era in New York coming to an end? It's possible.

The New York Giants are reportedly doing their due diligence on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

A draft tidbit to file away for Thursday: The #Giants have spent a lot of time researching #Oregon QB Justin Herbert, a process that’s included FaceTime conversations with coach Joe Judge, per me and @MikeGarafolo. NYG has been exhaustive in its draft prep at No. 4.

Jones was the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and put together a solid rookie year with a 61.9 completion percentage, 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Of course this is all speculation, but the Giants would be crazy to not take an in-depth look at one of the top prospects in the draft. New York holds the fourth overall pick in the draft, so if they don't believe Jones is their guy, then it's no surprise they're looking at other options.

Herbert threw for 3,471 yards, 32 touchdowns and six interceptions last season with Oregon, building on his solid junior season. The 22-year-old could be the second quarterback taken in the 2020 draft, but Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa is also a strong candidate to be the second QB taken.
