Daniel Jones is an American football quarterback drafted by the New York Giants out of Duke University in 2019. His ability to gain small chunks of yardage earned him the nickname “Danny Dimes.” His propensity for throwing interceptions quickly earned him the nickname “Big Apple Turnover” (after “Big Apple,” the nickname of New York City) in 2019
 
“Big Apple Turnover” was posted on X/Twitter by Myles on October 20, 2019. “THE BIG APPLE TURNOVER!!” (with a graphic) was posted on X/Twitter by Say Ahmaud & Breonna’s Names on November 4, 2019. “Is his nick name Big Apple Turnover now instead of #DannyDimes” was posted on X/Twitter by Jeremy O on November 4, 2019. “Robert Levy: Since both Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold specialize in giveaways at such a high rate, Sunday’s matchup should be titled ‘The Big Apple Turnover’” was printed in the New York (NY) Post on November 9, 2019.
 
“Big Apple Turnover” was previously the nickname of New York Knicks guard Ray Williams (1954-2013) in 1979. “Big Apple Turnover” was also a nickname for New York Knicks forward Julius Randle in 2019. “Big Apple Sauce” (Ahmed “Sauce” Gardner nickname on the New York Jets) is another “Big Apple” sports player nickname.

Meanwhile, Danny Dimes now has 21 turnovers in 11 starts, so maybe we can start thinking of new nicknames for him.
Any suggestions?

It’s the LITTLE things for Daniel Jones for me. He hasn’t improved the LITTLE things that make you great. Still no pocket awareness still a big Apple turnover :(. I had hope. It hurts.
