The New York Giants only signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal, but his performance in 2025 could have long-lasting effects for the franchise.

One New York Giants wide receiver has already noticed a difference in practicing with quarterback Russell Wilson. Veteran receiver Darius Slayton threw some shade at the team’s previous quarterbacks when noting that Wilson has energized his wide receivers during offseason camps.

Upon entering the NFL, Darius Slayton had the rare opportunity to be drafted and grow alongside his quarterback. However, his journey with Daniels Jones came to an end midway through last season when the New York Giants waived the former top-ten pick.
