Russell Wilson is opening up about adjusting to his new life in New York. 

The 36-year-old NFL player is gearing up for his first season as the New York Giants quarterback after being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

During the offseason, the QB1 has enjoyed several sporting events, including New York Knicks games and the New York Yankees vs. New York Mets Subway Series finale. 

"It’s been a lot of fun being around the Knicks and going to their games at MSG,” Wilson told the "New York Post" on Sunday, May 18. “The experience of watching and being part of that atmosphere and getting to know Jalen [Brunson] and Josh [Hart] and KAT [Karl-Anthony Towns] and all those guys has been really special."

The future Hall of Famer said, "It’s been a lot of fun just feeling like we’re part of New York now, and to be around the other teams, and these great athletes, like my friend Aaron Judge. He added, "I’m looking forward to the new season with the Giants," he said.
