Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed after the draft that Wilson would head into the 2025 season as QB1. Wilson is a on a one-year deal, however, and the draft capital spent on Dart indicates the franchise could be hoping to see him earn a larger role in the future.

The Giants traded back up into the first round of the NFL draft to select Dart, a three-year starter at Ole Miss, with the 25th overall pick. On Friday, as rookie minicamp kicked off, Dart already was on his way to bringing followers to his cause.

The New York Giants can feel good about their rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart, after the first day of on-field activities.
