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.

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.

ESPN's quarter century all-star team has a giant-sized mystery.
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. No two NFL stars are the same though many share recognizable qualities and common ideas. It doesn't matter if they play for the New York Giants or someone else. All want to get paid. All hope they'll one day be remembered among the greats when their playing days are over. The 'alphas' often think about their legacy. How will they be remembered? Have they set their family up for financial success? How many more years of pain can they squeeze out of those weary and battered bodies? Michael Strahan, New York Giants (Photo by) Michael Strahan, New York Giants (Photo by) Photo byThose are the questions they ask themselves. That being said, you know what? Come to think of it, these guys may be more alike in their makeup than most may have thought. Must read: Abdul Carter Headlines a List of Giants Postseason Award Contenders They won't admit it, but they seek the approval and respect of their peers. And, they work their hind parts off for that respect because if their peers, opponents, and teammates respect them that's truly all that matters. All of that has been said to say this. It's easy to wonder what some of the Giants greats of the past quarter century think about this ESPN all-star team. The Giants are snubbed from ESPN's All Quarter Century Team (minus a practice team addition) It's hard to argue with the brilliance and creativity. ESPN dropped some quality content as Aaron Schatz and Seth Wilder cooked up one heck of a write-up in their NFL All Quarter Century team. There's only one problem. There are no New York Giants on the roster! That is, unless you include Michael Strahan's mention as a practice squad member. Okay, so it's been a rough go these past few seasons with Brian Daboll at the helm despite the postseason appearance his team produced in his first season as head coach. Truth be told, we can probably chalk that up to some bad moves by Joe Schoen and the front office. Must read: Kayvon Thibodeaux's Long-Held Promise Haunts in a Crucial Year The Giants can't get one guy on the list though? Not one? Sure, this team has been bad or mediocre more often than they have impressed us over the past quarter century, but this team has had some talent. What about Michael Strahan? Can we at least bump him up to the active roster? What about Eli Manning? He's 2-0 vs. the QB1, Tom Brady, on the Super Bowl stage. No one wants Eli on the squad, huh? Well, goodness gracious. You guys are a tough crowd and tough to please. Must read: A Giants Backup Role Might Not Fit Jaxson Dart's Grand Vision Here's something of note. Bill Belichick was named the team's head coach. Do we give the G-Men a nod because he was once Big Blue's defensive coordinator? No? You guys aren't rolling with that either, huh? Oh well... Maybe Abdul Carter and Malik Nabers can fight their way onto the 2025 all-star team. It will take another 25 years to get there, but at this point, Giants fans and the media have to hope for something.
