One of the New York Giants’ top receivers is clearly excited about the arrival of his new quarterback.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that the Giants had signed Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson, much to the anticipation of fans and players alike. Details of Wilson’s contract with the team can be found here.
Veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton took to social media to share his enthusiasm about the signing. He showed his support for Wilson by posting a message that said, “Giants country… Let’s ride,” paying homage to Wilson’s famous catchphrase from his time with the Denver Broncos.
Wilson’s iconic “Broncos Country, let’s ride!” became well-known after he introduced it in a viral video filmed in front of a green screen when he joined Denver in 2022.
Unfortunately, Wilson’s time with the Broncos wasn’t as successful as hoped. The 10-time Pro Bowler spent just two seasons with Denver before moving to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2023 season.
Wilson had a promising start with the Steelers, winning six of his first seven games and helping Pittsburgh stay in playoff contention. However, he struggled towards the end of the season, losing five straight games, including a 28-14 Wild Card loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Now on his third team after a decade-long career with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson will be hoping that this new chapter will bring a fresh start.
While Slayton is excited to team up with Wilson, not all Giants fans share his enthusiasm. Many have expressed reservations about the quarterback signing.
