Coach Brian Daboll praised Wilson’s veteran leadership as analysts debate whether Dart’s resilience on the practice field can trigger an in-season QB switch.

Overview

  • Brian Daboll officially named Russell Wilson the starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2025 season.
  • Wilson, signed on a one-year stopgap deal, handled all first-team snaps in 11-on-11 drills and connected on multiple touchdown passes during early camp work.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart rebounded from a viral pick-six on his first throw by tossing a touchdown the following day and emerging as the clear second-team signal-caller.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter and FS1’s Chris Broussard both noted that naming Wilson QB1 does not close the competition if Dart excels in camp or the preseason.
  • Veterans Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito continue mentoring Dart as the Giants balance short-term stability with his long-term development plan.
