Russell Wilson Reacts to New York Giants Drafting a Quarterback in First Round of NFL Draft, Presumed to Be His Successor

Russell Wilson is reacting to the New York Giants adding a quarterback to the QB room in the first round of the NFL Draft.

If you don’t know, Russell is a veteran quarterback (and he’s married to Ciara!) He was signed by the Giants this offseason to be their starting QB in the 2025-2026 season.

However, when a team drafts a quarterback in the first round, it’s presumed that that young athlete will be playing sooner rather than later.

During the first round of the 2025 Draft on Thursday (April 24), the Giants used their first pick on defensive star Abdul Carter, but then traded back into the first round later in the evening to select Ole’ Miss QB Jaxson Dart, 21.

There’s some thought that the Jaxson could sit on the bench and learn from Russell and backup Jameis Winston for the full season, but if Russell is for some reason struggling…there could be a QB change.

However, Russell sent a super supportive message to the Giants’ two newest players, showing there’s no animosity or competition from him at this time!
