Before the Giants' ninth practice of organized team activities (OTAs) on Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll spoke about Wilson's early impact. "It's been excellent. Not just on the offensive side of the ball, I'd say within the entire team, defense, special teams, he's a very good communicator," said Daboll.

Darius Slayton did not say it, and he might not have ever heard of it, but there is certainly a chance the sentiment fits, when considering what Slayton does well and what Russell Wilson has been known to do exceedingly well at the NFL level for the past 13 years.

Following a one-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wilson inked a one-year deal with the New York Giants in free agency. Though it was spilled out, it's evident why the franchise brought him in. He will be a stopgap at starting quarterback while the team develops 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart behind the scenes.
