"I kind of see it as I've got two big brothers in the room," Dart said. "Russ might reach a little bit of unc status a little bit. But they're both my big brothers out there.
"The wisdom they shed off on me is huge. They've done it for a long time, and they've succeeded at the highest level. So, I'm in a very unique situation to have those guys, and we have great relationships off the field, too. So, really just blessed and grateful to have those guys in the room."

The Giants drafted Jaxson Dart, who is 22, with the 25th pick in this year's draft out of Ole Miss. They also brought in Russell Wilson, who will turn 37 in late November, and Jameis Winston, who will turn 32 in January, in March.

Brian Daboll used Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler, as the QB1 at the start of the season. However, after a three-game losing streak, the Giants replaced him with Jaxson Dart.

Skattebo underwent surgery for the injury, but is expected to miss four to six months of action, sidelining him for the rest of the season.

On Wednesday, Jaxson Dart opened up about the rookie RB's return to the team's facility.

"That was good ... Like, he's going to hate sitting at home and whatnot, so I'm sure he'll be around here a lot. It was good to see his face for sure," Dart said.
