Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones could take on a surprising role in the playoffs with the Minnesota Vikings.

Sam Darnold will be leading his team to battle after his breakout campaign, but recent comments from Kevin O'Connell indicate the team may have a new backup quarterback in Daniel Jones.
