There is also a generation of fans whose appreciation for those championships is gained through history lessons from family members of days gone by and in videos on YouTube. And that is the target audience for Carter and Dart. There is nothing wrong with ambition, and neither first-round rookie has talked publicly about one day wearing gold jackets and putting another Lombardi in the trophy case.
The goal is unspoken, relatively, yet clearly understood by those who appreciate how their presence will continue to command attention even as the offseason moves into OTAs with the veterans taking center stage this week.

How the Giants’ Opening Day lineup is already shaking out | New York Post
Starting jobs are not won or lost at this stage of the offseason program. The work in the spring is more about getting in football shape, getting re-acclimated to techniques and practice habits, learning about new teammates, commanding any new nuances in the playbook and, most importantly, staying healthy.
When training camp opens in late July, the competition ramps up and the battles for a spot on the first-team offense or defense commence.
Giants’ urgency must start now in OTAs to prepare for gauntlet 2025 schedule | New York Daily News
What does urgency look like during non-contact spring practices featuring 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills?
It looks like getting players in playing shape and keeping them healthy.
It looks like practicing hard and to a line, just not across it.
It looks like pushing players into competitive situations to create position battles.
It looks like players getting more reps and winning those position battles on merit, not status or salary.
It looks like developing the rookies at an appropriate pace to maximize their development and also their abilities to impact games in year one, if they prove capable.
It looks like finding out specifically what Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart all can do in 11-on-11, even in practice.

The quarterback snaps distribution between Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart. The Giants have made it clear that veteran Russell Wilson will enter the 2025 season as the starting quarterback. However, is Wilson vulnerable to falling prey to losing his starting job to a rookie in the same way he took then-Seattle Seahawks free agent signee Matt Flynn’s job back in 2012? Jaxson Dart will likely start the year on the bench, but could college football’s yards per pass attempt leader (10.8) in 2024 make Wilson sweat in OTAs and training camp? Now is the time to monitor the first-team offense snaps at the quarterback position in New York.

PFF Running Back Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2025 NFL season | PFF
30. Tyron Tracy, New York Giants. Tracy enjoyed a solid rookie campaign in which he recorded 839 rushing yards with a 69.6 PFF rushing grade. As a former receiver, his 40.9 PFF receiving grade was disappointing, but expect that to bounce back.

Every NFL Team’s Most Exciting 2025 Undrafted Free-Agent Addition | Bleacher Report
CB O’Donnell Fortune. In a league that’s trended heavily toward zone coverage and making sure the ball stays in front of the secondary, South Carolina’s O’Donnell Fortune has the chance to make an impact at the next level. While the Giants’ undrafted free agent is best in zone, he graded well in both aspects of coverage. He and Travis Hunter became the only corners to grade among the top four at the FBS level in both man and zone coverage this past season, according to Pro Football Focus.
