Giants’ J.J. McCarthy Praises ‘True Pro’ Jameis Winston

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy praised veteran backup Jameis Winston as a "true pro" following their 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. McCarthy got banged up during the contest, prompting Winston to step in and complete 6 of 8 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.

After the game, Winston emphasized his focus on the present and team success rather than personal statistics. Despite starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffering an early-season injury, the Giants have reached a 5-2-1 record to lead the NFC East.
