CINCINNATI — There are plenty of new experiences for any rookie going through the preseason for the first time. For Daniel Jones, a charter flight on the team plane for his first NFL game outside the friendly confines of MetLife Stadium is the latest.

“Yeah, I think it’ll be fun to get on the road,’’ Jones said. “It’s my first experience on the road, so it’ll be exciting.’’

Jones will not start Thursday night against the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium, but he will receive significant playing time behind Eli Manning. The Giants opened up their summer schedule with what was technically a road game against the Jets and then performed in front of Giants fans when the Bears came to MetLife.

You can pardon Jones if he felt as if he never wanted to leave East Rutherford, N.J. In his first two games at the Meadowlands, he completed 16 of 19 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating of 151.8 is the highest in the league among quarterbacks with more than 10 attempts.

“Just play good football,’’ coach Pat Shurmur said of Jones’ marching orders for this game. “Take the snap. When you’re asked to throw passes, get completions. When you’re asked to run the ball, hand the ball off and lead your team into the end zone.’’

The Giants for the first time showed their appreciation for the development of their 2019 draft picks by sending each school a Giants commemorative game ball inscribed with the name of the player and the college, as well as a letter asking the football coach at the school to “display this ball proudly as a symbol of gratitude for the countless number of people who helped him on his journey.’’

The letter was signed by general manager Dave Gettleman and Chris Pettit, the director of college scouting, as well as assistant general manager Kevin Abrams and head coach Pat Shurmur. The Twitter account of the Washburn Ichabod football team, where cornerback Corey Ballentine played, in a post called it “an incredible gesture’’ by the Giants.

There are plenty of Giants-Bengals connections. Two castoffs from last year’s subpar Giants offensive line have found a new home in Cincinnati. Bobby Hart is the Bengals’ starting right tackle and John Jerry is the starting left guard. DE Kerry Wynn is listed on the third team. CB B.W. Webb is a backup nickel back. In addition, Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was Shurmur’s defensive backs coach in 2018. … WR Da’Mari Scott was waived.

LB Alec Ogletree changed his number to 47 and saw rookie Jake Carlock, wearing No. 52 — Ogletree’s former number — return an interception for a touchdown in the preseason opener.

Ogletree had five interceptions wearing No. 52 last season.

“It’s part the number, but also you have to have some skill,’’ Ogletree said. “I’m extremely happy for him, glad he represented the number really well and more power to him.’’
