"The former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft has had a career defined by both talent and turbulence. Now in his 11th season and fourth different team, Winston owns a 4461 record as a starter, with more than 24,000 passing yards and over 150 touchdowns to his name. His big arm and aggressive style have always been a double-edged sword, capable of lighting up a defense or forcing a costly turnover."
"Kafka's decision also signals a shift in direction for New York. Russell Wilson, who opened the season as the starter, has been passed over, and the move shows Kafka's willingness to prioritize performance over reputation. He'll do a great job, I have a lot of confidence in Jameis, Kafka said Wednesday. I have a lot of confidence in Russ, and he'll be the backup as Jaxson [Dart] works through concussion protocol."
Interim head coach Mike Kafka named Jameis Winston the likely starter for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers as Jaxson Dart remains in concussion protocol. Winston will take the reins in Week 11 and brings 11 seasons of experience, a 44-61 starting record, more than 24,000 passing yards and over 150 touchdowns. His strong arm and aggressive approach can produce big plays and turnovers. Russell Wilson has been moved to backup. The Giants sit 2-8 and are focusing on pride, progress, and player evaluation while Kafka auditions for the permanent head coaching role.
