New York Giants headlines for Wednesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
And in New York, with a young Giants team searching for an identity, in a place that rewards those sort of lofty manifestations produced by the type of athlete who can ably filter out the noise of the detractors, it’s worth wondering if this is where Wilson was meant to end up all along.
“Me and Carmelo were talking about this,” Wilson says. “He’s like, ‘Man, this is the perfect place for you to reestablish and have everybody realize who Russell Wilson really is, by not just how you play on the field, but what you do, the community and different things that you’re able to impact.’

His traits are worth betting on, though, and early investors can expect to yield a high return, hence why the New York Giants made him the third pick of last April's draft.
Carter will likely be more of a third-down rusher in year one, since the Giants have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the edge already. However, the 2024...
