Before Taylor, Geno Smith was the first quarterback for the Giants since they started in 1995. Smith made history when he started a game in 2017 for the Giants. The Giants are the last team who started a black quarterback in 2017, after the New England Patriots in 2016 and the Indianapolis Colts in 2015.
