The Facts: Jones will spend the week in Arizona working out with his team's offensive weapons for several days of throwing sessions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is told. Showing some leadership, Jones organized the week, and the WRs and TEs who flew out will be joined by some O-linemen, as well.

As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, this has become common practice for Jones since he became the Giants' starting quarterback. Last year he organized a session in February at the facilities at Duke, where he played his college football, and then organized another session in June in Texas. Jones said last year that he considers providing leadership year-round to be part of the job of the franchise quarterback. "That's something I need to take seriously, and I certainly do," he said. PFT went on to notes, this will be a very big year for Jones, with Giants owner John Mara acknowledging that he's growing impatient with the team losing. Through two seasons of Jones' career the Giants have done too much losing. They're 8-18 in games he has started.
