Overview

  • Russell Wilson has been designated the 2025 starting quarterback and has worked exclusively with the first-team offense throughout spring practices.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart has progressed from third- to second-team reps, added occasional first-team snaps, and earned praise for his poise and deep-ball accuracy in minicamp.
  • Tommy DeVito has emerged as a key mentor alongside Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, guiding Dart through play calls and system adjustments.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka are using phased rep rotations and schematic breakdowns modeled on past quarterback development successes.
  • The Giants are finalizing their summer training camp dates, including planned joint practices with the New York Jets, to advance their quarterback development program.
