New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart has two veteran quarterbacks in the locker room ready to mentor him: Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. The No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL draft is the future of the franchise, but the coaching staff wants to bring him along slowly.
Wilson, who is preparing to play his 14th NFL season in 2025, has spent time with Dart. Talking with Kay Adams on her "Up & Adams" show on Tuesday, the former Super Bowl champion discussed what he's seen from the former Ole Miss quarterback.
