Russell Wilson is Giants’ starting QB as camp begins, Daboll says - Jordan Raanan, ESPN
The Giants QB choice for now.
The New York Giants don’t have any quarterback controversy this summer. Russell Wilson is the clear-cut starting quarterback at they begin training camp, coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday.
“These guys will be out here competing, but Russ is our starter,” Daboll said of the veteran quarterback.
The Giants signed Wilson and fellow quarterback Jameis Winston in free agency and selected Jaxson Dart in the first round of this year’s draft. They also have Tommy DeVito on the roster.
Dart’s development will be a focus throughout the season after the Giants traded back into the first round to take him with the 25th overall pick. When he takes the field in a regular-season game will depend on his progress and Wilson’s performance.
In an ideal world for the Giants, Dart might not see the field much — or at all.
