Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes in 11-on-11 red zone drills. Three went to Malik Nabers — it was their first official practice together! — and one to Chris Manhertz. He also threw a touchdown to Wan’Dale Robinson in 7-on-7.

The Giants signed Wilson to a one-year contract worth up to $10.5 million in free agency. They also signed veteran signal-caller Jameis Winston to a two-year deal worth $8 million. And when the 2025 NFL draft rolled around, Giants general manager Joe Schoen traded back into the first round at No. 25 overall to select quarterback Jaxson Dart.

The New York Giants recently announced that Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the team when they take the field in Week 1. It should be no surprise that Wilson got the spot. The Giants selected former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart in the 2025 NFL Draft, but throwing a rookie out to the wolves wouldn't be fair.
