When Daniel Jones signed with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason, he got some critical advice courtesy of Peyton Manning . Based on Jones’ performance through his first three games, it looks like it paid off.

The quarterback has the Colts off to a 3-0 start on the young season and guest on ESPN’s Manningcast during Monday night’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions. With Manning being widely considered the greatest quarterback in franchise history, he is still heavily invested in the franchise.

The topic came up of a conversation he had with Jones this offseason, letting him know what to expect from the organization. Of course, he also threw in a few recommendations about things to do in Indianapolis as well.

“I gave him some important stuff,” Manning said. “Play golf at Crooked Stick. Go eat dinner at St. Elmo’s Steakhouse. The equipment managers of the Colts are the best in the NFL. Frog and T and Smack. They know what a 12-yard comeback is. They’re gonna line up in the right spot for the quarterback drills.
