Overview

  • Russell Wilson has taken every first-team rep this spring and is set to open the 2025 season as the Giants’ starting quarterback.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart has climbed to second-team reps and says he’s made “tremendous strides” in grasping the offense during minicamp.
  • The Giants plan to preserve Dart’s development by limiting his early-season workload and leaning on veteran leader Wilson for game reps.
  • Tommy DeVito and Jameis Winston share mentoring duties in the QB room, with DeVito bonding with Dart over activities like watching “Love Island.”
  • Winston’s long-term position remains uncertain as trade speculation swirls around his future in New York.
