Overview

  • The Giants officially named Russell Wilson their Week 1 starter, placing veteran leadership at the forefront of their quarterback rebuild.
  • Wilson led off-field workouts and a team trip to San Diego designed to build chemistry with wide receivers, tight ends and fellow QBs ahead of training camp.
  • Coaches have lauded Wilson’s calm under pressure, decision-making and deep-ball accuracy as essential stabilizers for a unit that struggled behind an unsettled offensive line last season.
  • Analyst Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk warned that Wilson could lose his starting role to rookie Jaxson Dart if the first-round pick shows early readiness.
  • A brutal opening schedule and ongoing offensive line concerns will test Wilson’s ability to mentor Jameis Winston and support Dart’s development while pursuing immediate competitiveness.
