There’s no doubt that if one franchise is determined to return to the NFL spotlight, it’s the New York Giants. The move to bring in Russell Wilson is a clear sign of that intent — and while the veteran is expected to be the starter, not everyone is convinced he should be.
Tre Harris, the player everyone is talking about amid his unresolved contract situation with the Chargers, made the leap to the league after a successful college career with the Ole Miss Rebels.
So what’s the connection between the Giants, Wilson, and Harris? At Ole Miss, Harris played alongside quarterback Jaxson Dart — who is now expected to potentially serve as Russell Wilson’s primary backup in New York. Because of that bond, the talented wide receiver firmly believes Brian Daboll should give the rookie the starting job from Week 1.
“If you want to be honest, I think Week 1, he should really have the job,” Harris firmly stated during a recent appearance on the Up & Adams show.
The Dart–Harris duo that lit up Ole Miss
Quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Tre Harris formed a dynamic duo in their final season with the Ole Miss Rebels. Dart had a standout year with over 4,200 passing yards and 29 touchdowns while Harris, one of his top target, also shined with over 1,000 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, despite missing some games.

Their on-field chemistry was undeniable. Dart consistently found Harris for big plays, showing seamless understanding. This strong connection was key to Ole Miss’s high-powered offense, significantly contributing to their impressive 10-win season.
Now, their paths in the NFL have taken them to different teams, but one thing’s for sure — Ole Miss fans certainly enjoyed watching them and got the very best out of the dynamic duo.
Who will be QB1 for the Giants?
The New York Giants head into the new season with a quarterback room full of possibilities. While head coach Brian Daboll has several options, all signs point to veteran Russell Wilson taking over as QB1.
Behind him, the battle for the backup role is heating up between Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart. Winston brings experience, while Dart, fresh off a strong college run at Ole Miss, is seen as a potential future starter.
