Russell Wilson, freshly signed to the New York Giants, made it clear during his introductory press conference that he expects to be the starting quarterback. Wilson, who has had a storied career including nine Pro Bowls, is entering his fourth team in five years after stints with the Seahawks, Broncos, and Steelers. He signed a one-year contract with the Giants worth up to $21 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed, suggesting he is the front-runner for the starting role in a crowded QB room that includes Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito.

Despite the Giants' dismal 2024 season (3-14), Wilson's underdog mentality drives him to inspire and lead the team towards success. He expressed confidence in his ability to earn the starting position through daily performance and commitment to winning. The Giants may also consider drafting a quarterback like Shedeur Sanders with their third overall pick in the upcoming draft, but Wilson remains focused on making an immediate impact.
