Russell Wilson is already building strong relationships with his new teammates. Shortly after joining the New York Giants, the veteran quarterback sent a personal message to one of his future weapons—though it’s not Malik Nabers.

The New York Giants are set to look drastically different in the 2025 NFL season. With Daniel Jones’ departure last year, the team sought a new veteran quarterback, and Russell Wilson quickly became the top option available to them.

Wilson is expected to be the starting quarterback this season, and he’s focused on forging solid connections with his teammates. To that end, he wasted no time sending a personal message to one of his future wide receivers, emphasizing just how special he believes he is.
