New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen had a long to-do list after a 3-14 showing in 2024. He managed to get most of it covered but there are still boundless questions about how well Schoen did.
In their recent analysis breaking down each NFL team’s “strengths, weaknesses and X-factors for every starting lineup,” the folks at Pro Football Focus listed the Giants’ biggest weakness from 2024 to be at the quarterback position.
The Giants’ passing game simply couldn’t function consistently in 2024 with Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Tommy Devito and Tim Boyle throwing passes. The team ranked 30th in the NFL in PFF passing grade while accumulating just 15 big-time throws and 24 turnover-worthy plays. Luckily, they’ve overhauled their quarterback room by adding veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, along with first-round pick Jaxson Dart, who led the FBS with a 91.9 PFF passing grade in 2024
Schoen attacked that vigorously this offseason by adding free agent veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and landing Jaxson Dart in the 2025 NFL draft. The quarterback play should be significantly improved in 2025.

The Giants already look like a different team at organized team activities (OTAs). Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler, and a Super Bowl champion, adds legitimacy to the quarterback room and on the practice field.
There’s no denying Winston’s strong arm and presence as well. Tommy DeVito adds a swagger and local flavor but Dart is certainly the future. He has shown talent, poise, and potential leadership in his short time here with Big Blue.
