A Fresh Start for Wilson in Familiar Threads
Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson is officially a New York Giant—and he’s bringing his iconic No. 3 jersey with him. The team announced updated jersey numbers on Wednesday, confirming that Wilson will keep the number he’s worn throughout his entire 13-year NFL career.
This move required some teamwork behind the scenes. Cornerback Deonte Banks, who previously wore No. 3, agreed to switch to No. 2 for the upcoming season. Banks had changed from No. 25 to No. 3 just last year, making this another quick turnaround for the young defensive back.
A Classy Gesture Between Teammates.
Russell Wilson didn’t waste any time expressing his gratitude to his new teammate. On social media, Wilson shared a heartfelt message for Banks:
“Salute to my guy & young star Tae Banks! Grateful for you letting me wear #3 King! Full of gratitude.”
It’s a classy exchange that shows respect between a seasoned veteran and a rising star. For Banks, it’s a small sacrifice for the team—and for Wilson, it’s a symbol of continuity as he begins this new chapter in New York.
Official Jerseys Now Available.
Giants fans can now get ready for kickoff in style. The official Russell Wilson No. 3 jerseys are available now on the Giants Shop. Whether you’re heading to MetLife Stadium or watching from home, it’s the perfect way to show your Big Blue pride and support the newest member of the squad.
Looking Ahead to the 2025 Season.
With Wilson set to lead the offense, Giants fans are hoping the familiar No. 3 brings some veteran magic to the field. His leadership and experience could be a key asset for a team looking to bounce back this season.
Banks, now in No. 2, is expected to continue growing into a key role in the Giants’ secondary. His selfless gesture already shows he’s a team-first kind of player—something fans will no doubt appreciate.
