New York Giants leans on veteran Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback so far this season. But Rookie Jaxson Dart is just behind him on the team’s depth card.
Wilson previously spoke with Pakinomist Digital before the start of the season and answered a question about his thoughts on Dart’s ability compared to Wilson’s as a rookie when he exceeded former veteran quarterback Matt Flynn on Seattle Seahawks to win the starting job.
“I think Jaxson is a really good worker. He is a really good teammate. He is a guy who has had a really good college career,” Wilson said in July, adding, “for me I have been lucky and blessed, apparently this is my 14th year in the National Football League and to be able to be lucky to be able to do all things I have been able to do, And a big job you know, my focus is to help New York Giants win daily.

Both Wilson and Darts are in their first seasons with Giants. Wilson signed a 1-year-old, $ 21 million contract with the team during the high season, while Dart was elected by the team with the 25th gathering election in the NFL draft after trade back to the first round to get quarterback.
Wilson was anointed the team’s starting starting in the season, but Dart earned the second-string role after a strong performance for the forecast.

When Wilson overtook Flynn as Seattle’s starting quarterback in 2012, Flynn had just signed a three -year contract of $ 26 million. Wilson, a rookie, had been selected in the third round of this year’s draft, but ended up beating the veteran for the starting job before week 1. Wilson continued to lead Seahawks to an 11-5 record and a playoff victory in his first year.
