The Giants and head coach Brian Daboll made it clear that veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, who is gearing up for his first season with the Giants, <a href=\"https:\/\/thecomeback.com\/nfl\/new-york-giants-name-russell-wilson-starting-quarterback.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">will be the starting quarterback to open the season.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, the Giants selected rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. Earlier in this offseason, fans were disappointed when the franchise<a href=\"https:\/\/thecomeback.com\/nfl\/new-york-giants-jaxson-dart-depth-chart-third.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> listed veteran Jameis Winston as the second-string quarterback, despite Dart\u2019s impressive showings in the preseason.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For Dart\u2019s part, he made it clear that he was willing to wait for his number to be called.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like whenever my number is called, I\u2019m gonna go out there, I\u2019m gonna play my game and I\u2019m gonna ball,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/thecomeback.com\/nfl\/jaxson-dart-discusses-russell-wilson-being-giants-starter.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he said.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just my mindset any time I touch the field. Obviously, Russ is the starter, and he\u2019s going to do amazing. He\u2019s had such a great camp and has played at an elite level. My job is just to be the best teammate and be ready whenever it is. I\u2019m excited for Russ and what he\u2019s going to do this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRuss has completely earned that role,\u201d Dart continued. \u201cI just want to be the best teammate, and I want this team to win, so whatever my role is for that to happen, I\u2019m going to do that to the best of my ability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Dart is already making his way up the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJaxson Dart listed as QB2 on Giants depth chart for Week 1.
