Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has never been a fan of the New York Giants and throws shade in their direction every opportunity he gets.
That trend continued this week.
During an appearance on FS1’s Speak for Yourself, McCoy addressed the Saquon Barkley contract situation and in doing so, took aim at quarterback Daniel Jones, completely disparaging the 26-year-old.

“Who is Daniel Jones, though?” McCoy asked as the panel compared DJ to a house, saying he will appreciate over time. “Daniel Jones isn’t even a condo. He’s like a garage. You can rent a garage out.
“Are we really going to sit here and act like Daniel Jones is this superstar quarterback? You’re supposed to get better and better each year, right? I can’t even say he’s getting better each year. . . You will never see Daniel Jones on any commercials. When a defense comes to play the Giants, you really think they’re talking about Daniel Jones?”
Shady must have missed DJ’s Buffalo Wild Wings commercial, but we digress…
Earlier in his career, defenses didn’t focus heavily on Jones. And even during the first half of last season, much of the focus was on stopping running back Barkley, and rightfully so. But during the second half of last season that all changed and defenses did begin to focus much more heavily on DJ.
“Last year he unleashed. We all loved it. When he runs, it builds confidence. He’s legit fast. I started to see later in the season, teams were putting spies on Daniel Jones,” former Giants linebacker Jaylon Smith said recently.
McCoy obviously did little research before making his anti-Jones comments but he’s likely still sour from being trolled by Osi Umenyiora over the years.
