After six mediocre years on offense, there seems to be some excitement regarding this New York Giants offense.
The Giants added two veteran quarterbacks this offseason, signing Jameis Winston to a two-year deal and inking Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson to a one-year contract. Even after drafting potential franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick, Wilson is still expected to open the season as the starter.
The offense, at least on paper, looks like it should be much improved. Wilson offers more upside than Daniel Jones ever showed during his disappointing tenure in New York. With wideouts Malik Nabers, Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and emerging running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the mix, Big Blue’s offense might finally find some consistency.
If the trio of Wilson, Tracy, and Nabers can lead the way, the 2025 Giants could be a far more competitive unit.
Giants trio gets snubbed in latest skill position rankings
In an article for CBS Sports, Jared Dubin may have given the Giants’ offensive trio of Wilson, Nabers, and Tracy a disrespectful ranking, placing them 27th among all NFL teams:
"It feels like this ranking is being carried by Nabers' incredible season and people's memories of what Wilson used to be," Dubin wrote.
"When he wasn't running hot on deep balls last season, the Steelers offense looked dreadful. Which is exactly how the Broncos offense looked during Wilson's two years in Denver and how the Seahawks offense looked during his final season in Seattle. Nabers is so outrageously good, though, that he probably should carry the Giants to a higher ranking than they would otherwise deserve. And Tracy didn't look so bad himself during his own debut campaign."
Even though Wilson is 36 years old entering this season, the former Super Bowl champion can still sling it. Let’s not forget, during his lone year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, Wilson threw for nearly 2,500 yards in 11 games, with 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions. And after Nabers put together an incredible rookie season for the Giants—tallying over 1,200 yards and a franchise-record 109 receptions—you can only wonder what he’s capable of with a more stable presence at quarterback, after enduring a carousel in 2024.
And of course, you can’t help but be excited about what Tracy might do in his sophomore season. The former fifth-round pick exceeded expectations as a rookie, rushing for nearly 840 yards on 192 carries with five touchdowns. While it’s still early to see how this trio will come together in 2025, having Wilson, Nabers, and Tracy—three players who have already shown game-changing potential—ranked that low feels a bit disrespectful.
