Rob Gronkowski Believes the Giants Have a Clear Answer at Quarterback
All-time great NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski believes the New York Giants have a clear answer at the quarterback position.
The New York Giants have begun their 2026 NFL season with a 3-1 record, clinching both of their final two wins following the departure of starting quarterback Jaxson Dart due to a likely season-ending knee injury. Backup Jameis Winston has emerged as the team's most reliable option, leading the Giants to victories against the Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals in consecutive starts. While Winston's performance has not been flawless, it has been sufficient enough to place the Giants atop the NFC East.
Amidst the competition brought by the acquisition of J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings, the Giants' journeyman tight end Rob Gronkowski remains confident in Winston's role for the remainder of the season. Speaking about Winston's prospects, Gronkowski expressed his optimism about the quarterback's chances, stating, "I think so.
He's 2-0 right now as a starter." Gracious towards Winston's recent form, Gronkowski commended his contribution, remarking, "I'm so happy for Jameis to see what he's doing over there in the last two weeks." Gronkowski anticipated Winston to continue as the Giants' starter for the rest of the season, fueled by the quarterback's exuberance on the field.
The Giants are poised to maintain their current winning streak as they prepare to host the division-rival Washington Commanders in their Week 5 matchup.
