His team unquestionably drafted his replacement in Daniel Jones out of Duke, but quarterback Eli Manning doesn’t feel like there’s any real competition between the two as the New York Giants head into training camp.
“I feel like I’ve got to do my job and I’ve got to compete every day and get better every day,” Manning told the NFL Network. “That’s the way it’s been my whole life.”
Manning completed 66 percent of his passes last season for 4,299 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Brant Weiss was added to the Los Angeles Chargers roster. Weiss is a former Arizona Cardinal who spent time in the Alliance of American Football this past spring. To open a roster spot, the Chargers cut Koda Martin.
The @Chargers signing Brant Weiss prompted us to hit our AAF record books – and Weiss impressed in his lone AAF game.
In Week 1, he logged 66 total snaps and finished with the 3rd overall grade among tackles.
