giants jaxson dart has rough day at otas practice nj com

A massive brawl erupting at the end of practice wasn’t the only Giants lowlight on Thursday. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart also didn’t have a particularly good day. During 11-on-11 team periods, Dart went 5-of-9 passing with 2 interceptions, one sack taken and 2 pass breakups at the line of scrimmage. His worst throw came during the first team period, when he badly underthrew a ball to undrafted free agent wide receiver Da’Quan Felton along the sideline. The 22-year-old rookie got one rep with the starters, eight with the second-team players and one with the third-teamers. And look, it’s still early.

Dart, who is still learning the system and the ebbs and flows of life in the NFL, was never going to meet coach Brian Daboll’s lofty expectations of him overnight. There will be more practices like this — which is why Russell Wilson was signed to be the Week 1 starter. The Giants knew what they were getting into when they traded up for him at the end of Round 1. On the whole, the Giants’ coaching staff seems impressed with their The New York Giants return to the field on Monday for their final week of organized team activities (OTAs). They will head into mandatory minicamp next week.

When the Giants traded up to select Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, they were confident in their selection. After all of the pre-draft meetings and workouts, Dart was at the top of their list, and they didn't want to risk not getting him by waiting until the second round. Since joining the team, all reports and statements about Dart have been positive. He's intelligent, professional, works hard, and has largely performed well. Everyone has their days, though, and Dart suffered a tough session last Thursday. Not only did the practice end with a massive brawl, but Dart did not play well.

During 11-on-11 team periods, Dart completed 5-of-9 passes, threw two interceptions, took one sack, and had two pass breakups at the line of scrimmage. Everyone has their days, though, and Dart is still getting acclimated to the NFL. The game is significantly different at this level compared to college; the pace is faster, the rules are slightly modified, the players are larger and stronger, and the competition is intense. Rookie quarterback throws a pair of interceptions EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Not every day is going to be perfect in the life of an NFL quarterback, especially a rookie quarterback just learning the ropes.

New York Giants’ rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart had one of those less-than-perfect days during Thursday’s OTA. Unofficially, Dart went 6 of 12 with a pair of interceptions during Thursday’s practice. Dart also had a couple of passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. He took one rep with the first team during practice. One of Dart’s interceptions was an underthrown deep sideline route intended for Da’Quan Felton that was grabbed by cornerback Tre Hawkins. The second interception, by undrafted rookie free agent Makari Paige, came when Dart was flushed out of the pocket and moving to his left.

Per Hughes, this was a significant shift from last week, when Dart spent the majority of his reps with and against the respective third-team units for offense and defense. The results, however, were not great. “Jaxson Dart had a rough afternoon,” ESPN NYG beat reporter Jordan Raanan relayed after practice.

Noting that the rookie “threw a couple INTs [and] had a couple passes batted down.” Similarly, NorthJersey.com beat writer Art Stapleton acknowledged that it was an “up-and-down practice for the Giants QBs” in general. Stapleton was also a little more forgiving when it came to Dart. “Tre Hawkins made a nice interception of Jaxson Dart along the sideline, but I put a star on the play because Dart gave rookie WR Da’Quan Felton a chance to make a play,” the... “Hawkins was the one who did, outmaneuvering Felton.” The New York Giants return to the field on Monday for their final week of organized team activities (OTAs).
