The Giants are in a much better position to avoid such a rash departure from their plan. Wilson is a proven veteran with a potential Hall of Fame pedigree. He represents a bridge option that should prevent the Giants from forcing an acceleration of Dart’s timeline.

Jaxson Dart’s preseason brilliance has Colin Cowherd convinced that mentorship from Lane Kiffin and Brian Daboll has built his confidence.

The New York Giants signed free agent quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year deal in March in an effort to add quality depth to the position, a couple days before Russell Wilson landed with the franchise.

The game does change during the preseason with actual game planning and star players on the field, but there are things we can learn in these exhibition matchups. Here are five questions answered after the second round of games.

We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn’t. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism.

Following Saturday night's matchup between the Giants and the New York Jets, Griffin took to social media to praise Dart's effort throughout his second NFL showing. It's safe to say the former Washington Commanders star is impressed with the first-round pick.
