The New York Giants added a Super Bowl winner, a former No. 1 overall pick, and a talented rookie prospect to the QB room ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
Unfortunately, these moves did little to convince one NFL analyst that this Giants’ offense isn’t going to be one of the worst units in the league in 2025.
PFSN Ranks Giants Offense 31st in NFL Entering 2025 Season
When your offense is ranked ahead of just the Cleveland Browns, then you know there are some potentially working against you entering the upcoming season.
Well, Kyle Soppe of Pro Football & Sports Network saw it exactly this way when ranking the New York Giants offense entering the 2025 season.
Soppe wrote, “It would seem that rock bottom has already occurred for the New York Giants (bottom-two grade in three of the past four seasons). They aren’t loaded with immediate potential, but skill players like Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Malik Nabers showed enough to have us encouraged about the future.”
Rock bottom isn’t exactly a term used to describe the best offenses in the league, which makes this Giants’ offense one with pretty low expectations entering the year.
Soppe added, “Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston are place-holders at the QB position. How the 25th pick in Jaxson Dart develops will go a long way toward determining how effective this rebuild will be. In a perfect world, he gets live reps in a low-risk environment this season and is positioned to enter the 2026 season as New York’s unquestioned QB1.”
Russell Wilson has been mostly discarded by two teams over the last two offseasons, which naturally lowers the expectations about the Super Bowl winning quarterback turning things around in short order.
Jameis Winston has also parted ways with two teams over the last two offseasons, which gives him a peculiar outlook in a quarterback room with Wilson and Jaxson Dart, who the team traded back up into the first round of this NFL Draft to select as their quarterback of the future.
Dart is a talented prospect but is still young and could take some time to transition from Lane Kiffin’s quarterback friendly scheme at Ole Miss to the complexities of Brian Daboll’s offense.
Ultimately, the Giants’ QB situation is one that projects as unstable — making it difficult to believe in a quick turnaround for this group in 2025.
Who Can the Giants Count On Other than Malik Nabers?
Giants general manager Joe Schoen hit a home run with WR Malik Nabers in the 2024 NFL Draft. The LSU product producing 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven scores in just 15 games with Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, and Drew Lock under center speaks for itself.
Yet, who else can this Giants’ offense really count on other than Nabers this season?
Tyrone Tracy Jr. flashed all kinds of big playmaking ability his rookie year, but the team drafted a physical back in Cam Skattebo who thrives with a high volume of work.
Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, and Theo Johnson all feel like decent complementary pieces but not surefire second options for an NFL offense.
It will be Brian Daboll’s job to makeshift these pieces into a competent NFL offense in 2025. If he fails to do so, then Jaxson Dart will likely have to learn a new offensive system under a new head coach entering 2026.
