6 things we learned in Russell Wilson’s first New York Giants press conference

Russell Wilson, newly-signed quarterback for the New York Giants, introduced himself to New York media via Zoom on Wednesday. Here are some of the takeaways.

‘I expect to be the starter’

Wilson made it clear he did not sign with the Giants to compete with Jameis Winston, or to look over his shoulder and wonder when a rookie signal-caller might come for his job.

“I expect to be the starter and come in here and be ready to rock and roll every day,” Wilson said. “This team is really looking for somebody to lead them in every way in terms of process and the offseason, during the season, our habits and our thought process, how we create a great winning culture, and how do we continue to establish that, to really build on things that we do well and things we need to continue to do.
