New York Giants headlines for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
How do Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston look? All eyes are on the Giants’ quarterbacks this spring, summer — and season. They will determine the team’s ability to compete and the futures of coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.
The Giants will get a better look at how Dart compares with starter Wilson at minicamp. “They’ll all get reps,” Daboll said about minicamp, which starts next week. That includes Tommy DeVito, who has been alongside Dart with the third-team offense at OTAs.
“Wan’Dale is like a running back: Every time he touches the ball, he’s hard to tackle,” Wilson said. “His ability to make people miss, his ability to get away from guys and his ability to escape. I’ve played with some guys like that before.”
“I think that when you come into a situation like this, first of all, I’m in a super special position to be able to learn from guys like Russ (Wilson), Jameis (Winston), and Tommy (DeVito), guys who have competed at the highest level,” Dart said. “Russ winning the Super Bowl, and, you know, to kind of pick their brains each and every day has been awesome for me, especially for how young I am. But I think that my focus right now is to try to develop each and every day and do whatever I can to make the team better, and I just want to win. I can’t stand losing, and I’m gonna do whatever it takes, to not let that happen. So whatever my role is, I’m gonna play the best way that I can.”
New York Giants: DL Darius Alexander. Alexander was ubiquitous on the Toledo defense during his time with the Rockets. Rushing off the edge, aligning at linebacker, sinking into coverage, playing nose tackle. Name a front-seven duty, and he executed it over the past four seasons in the MAC.
Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and rookie Abdul Carter have distinct roles on the Giants defensive front. Alexander will be an amoeba for New York in 2025...
