One ex-signal caller says the Giants should carry a “short leash” with Russell Wilson and turn to his young successor if they need to save the season.

The Ole Miss football team enjoyed a resurgence in recent years with head coach Lane Kiffin on the sidelines and quarterback Jaxson Dart under center. They set a school record with 11 wins in 2023 and had two consecutive seasons with double-digit wins.

The New York Giants signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson this offseason; however, they were particularly impressed with what they saw in Jaxson Dart. The meetings with Dart went so well that the team decided to trade up in the draft to ensure they could land the Ole Miss quarterback.
