Russell Wilson didn’t take long to acquaint himself with the Giants Wednesday after officially signing his one-year contract.

He frequently name-dropped his new teammates during his introductory news conference. He joked about watching Dexter Lawrence chase other quarterbacks after dealing with that last year while on the Steelers.

But he also knows why the team signed him. To win games and bring the same impact he’s had in his 13-year career. And Wilson left no doubt what he believes his role is.

“I expect to be the starter and come in here and be ready to rock and roll every day,” Wilson said. “This team is really looking for somebody to lead them in every way in terms of process and the offseason, during the season, our habits and our thought process.”

That’s what the Giants hope, too. They expect Wilson to turn around a team that went 3-14 last season and he sounded in line with that mission.

He bragged about left tackle Andrew Thomas doing squats in the weight room. He mentioned how special receiver Malik Nabers’ rookie season was and praised the potential of young playmakers on both sides who could have breakout years.

He was also eager to work with coach Brian Daboll given his track record with developing quarterbacks.

“This guy has won five Super Bowls being with the Patriots, won a national championship,” Wilson said. “He’s been around greatness and knows what it looks like and sounds like . . . there is a standard that he knows what that looks like, especially offensively, and how he sees the game.”

Time will tell if Wilson can fix an offense ranked among the NFL’s worst last season. His 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns in 11 games with the Steelers were career lows. He went 6-1 as the starter before the team's season ended on a five-game losing streak, including a wild-card loss to the Ravens.

Wilson also missed six games due to a calf injury at the start of last season. Yet his positives -- experience, big arm and leadership -- were too good to pass up for a team that returns 10 offensive starters, including Malik Nabers

“Because of injuries, we played four quarterbacks this year,” Giants general manager Joe Schoen said at the NFL Combine. “We played three last year. So it would be nice to have one guy out there that can help you, give you the best chance to win games and also stay healthy.”

Wilson also tried to ease any fears that his best football was behind him.

“Any time you don't win it all as a competitor, warrior, you want to be able to win it all and say you did it that year,” he said. “My focus is doing it this year and trying to find a way to do it with these guys. That's what I'm really excited about.”

He also wasn’t worried about the Giants possibly drafting a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft in April. With Wilson and Jameis Winston on their roster, the Giants have short-term fixes but no long-term answer.

Wilson was fine being a mentor if another quarterback is added next month but often noted Wednesday his job is more than grooming his successor.

“If we draft a quarterback, we'll make sure he does everything he can to be ready to go and be prepared with his mentality,” Wilson said. “But for me I'm focused on winning, what I can do as a quarterback of the New York Giants to help us win and do everything we can to lead.”

For now, that meant getting to know his new teammates and city. He and his wife, R&B singer Ciara, went to the Knicks game at the Garden on Wednesday for another rousing introduction.

He won’t need to get familiar with MetLife Stadium. It was 11 years ago that Wilson won a Super Bowl there and the Seahawks practiced at the Giants’ facilities leading to that day.

Wilson recalled walking the hallways and being in the quarterback room, thinking about the great players who played there. A decade later, he hopes to add to that legacy and help the Giants get back to winning.

“Some of my most fond memories of this game that I poured my heart and soul into every day happened right here in this stadium right across the street,” Wilson said. “I’m excited to create some more memories with some amazing teammates for this amazing fan base.”
