Overview

  • The Giants have officially named Russell Wilson their starting quarterback for Week 1, entrusting him with immediate leadership after a 3–14 season.
  • Wilson spearheaded chemistry-building workouts in San Diego, including on-field drills and a San Diego Padres game outing with offensive teammates.
  • Rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart is positioned as Wilson’s eventual successor under a deliberate development timeline.
  • Offensive passing coordinator Shea Tierney and head coach Brian Daboll have praised Wilson’s blend of calm urgency and precision during OTAs and minicamp.
