"Quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence, linebackers Brian Burns and Bobby Okereke, and wide receiver Darius Slayton were named the New York Giants' 2025 team captains, head coach Brian Daboll confirmed on Thursday. Wilson is gearing up for his first season with Big Blue after signing a one-year deal to take over as the starting quarterback. The 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks entered camp already knowing he would be the Giants' No. 1 quarterback to start the season, which gives him an opportunity to prove that he is still a top arm at 36."
"Okereke, now in his third season with the Giants, has been a tackling machine since his arrival. Even with an injury-shortened campaign last season, he averaged nearly eight tackles per game. Slayton is the longest-tenured current Giant, entering Year 7 with the team. He provides a veteran presence to a younger wide receiver room and ranks in the top 20 in both receptions and receiving yards in team history."
Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Russell Wilson, Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Bobby Okereke and Darius Slayton as the New York Giants' 2025 team captains. Wilson signed a one-year deal to be the starting quarterback and enters camp as the Giants' No. 1 signal-caller at age 36, offering a chance to prove he remains a top arm. Rookie Jaxson Dart, the No. 25 overall pick, impressed in preseason and could challenge Jameis Winston for the No. 2 role. Lawrence anchors the defense and will be aided on the edge by Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter. Okereke averaged nearly eight tackles per game despite an injury-shortened season. Slayton enters Year 7 as the longest-tenured Giant, providing veteran leadership and ranking in the top 20 in team receptions and receiving yards.
