NY Giants Quarterback Sees Drastic Rise in NFL Re-Draft
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This offseason, the New York Giants addressed the quarterback position in a variety of ways. They potentially found their long-term option in first-round pick Jaxson Dart. However, when it comes to this season, Russell Wilson will be starting under center after inking a one-year deal in free agency. Long before he was bouncing around the league, Wilson was once one of the NFL's top talents at QB. Even with his track record in recent years, he has still drastically outdone the expectations of a third-round pick. Earlier this week, the people at PFF put together a re-draft of the 2012 class. Wilson ended up being one of the biggest risers, climbing all the way to the No. 1 overall pick. Originally, the Indianapolis Colts took Andrew Luck with this selection. Russell Wilson #3 of the New York Giants during a New York Giants practice session at NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center on June 12, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Russell Wilson #3 of the New York Giants during a New York Giants practice session at NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center on June 12, 2025 in East Rutherford, New more: NY Giants Wideout Gushes Over Presence of Russell Wilson "Wilson has slowed down a bit recently, but from 2012 to 2020, he compiled a 93.3 PFF passing grade that ranked fifth in the NFL. His 86.8 PFF rushing grade in that span ranked second among quarterbacks, and he led the position in rushing yards when including postseason play." Looking at the quarterbacks from this class, it's hard to argue any of them being taken over Wilson. He helped turn the Seattle Seahawks into a perennial Super Bowl contender, leading them to the mountaintop on one occasion. Aside from Luck, some of the other notable quarterbacks from this class include Kirk Cousins, Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, and Robert Griffin III. Read more: Giants QB Reveals Shocking Bonding Activity With Rookie Jaxson Dart Wilson's days as an elite QB are behind him, as he now finds himself in a much different phase of his career. Following a one-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is now auditioning with the Giants. Despite his game taking a step back, Wilson is still capable of providing stability at QB after their disarray at the position last year. With his years of experience in the league, Wilson can be a good short-term addition for the Giants. Having been in just about every situation possible, he can be a mentor for Dart as he navigates his first year in the pros. More importantly, he'll look to perform well on the field in hopes of landing another deal in free agency next offseason. Based on all the chatter coming out of camp, Wilson already seems to be having a positive influence on the Giants. Only time will tell if it yields results come the regular season.

Yankees flameout Clint Frazier decries ‘too many rocket scientists' running franchise
The Yankees' math never really added up for Clint Frazier. Frazier, who famously couldn't stick with the big league club after years as a top prospect, seemingly has lingering beef with the franchise and its analytically driven focus. 'I do feel like they hired a few too many rocket scientists to try to like make the lineup,' Frazier said on 'Foul Territory' on Thursday, 'instead of just like letting a former player or a guy that has more experience write the lineup.' Advertisement Foul Territory/ YouTube. He recalled to fellow ex-Yankee and podcast host Erik Kratz being told by one analyst that there is no such thing as 'players getting hot.' 'I could 55-for-55, and they would be like, 'he's not hot, he's going to cool down.' They believed you were what you were,' he said. 'And in my mind, I was like, that's not using your eyes… you gotta run with that sometimes.' Advertisement Frazier was a polarizing presence for the Yankees upon his arrival as a 21-year-old prospect from Cleveland in 2016 as part of the Andrew Miller trade — in part due to his flowing red locks. The Yankees relaxed their hair policy this season, giving Frazier one more qualm with his former franchise. Clint Frazier as a Yankee. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Advertisement 'I was just highly offended man,' he said. 'I felt like I was one of the guys there trying to push the envelope. That felt personal.' Frazier never realized his potential over parts of five MLB seasons with the Bombers, struggling with multiple concussions and getting released in 2021 and bouncing from the Cubs to the Rangers to the White Sox, seeing his last MLB action in 2023. Advertisement Once the No. 53 prospect in top 100, Frazier's MLB days ended with a .235 batting average, 29 home runs and 101 RBIs over parts of 7 MLB seasons. Frazier officially retired last season after a run with the Charleston Dirty Birds in the Atlantic League.
