ny giants standout gushes over rookie qb jaxson dart

In the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants walked out with a pair of building blocks for the future. First, they nabbed defensive standout Abdul Carter with the third overall pick. New York then executed a trade to acquire the 25th selection, which they then used to take quarterback Jaxson Dart. Though the latter won't be hitting the field right away, his teammates are already starting to rally behind him. Dart has turned heads in his early days with the Giants, which could be seen as a blessing and a curse. This bodes well for him being able to take over the reins at QB in the future, but could also create early competition between him and Russell Wilson.

After signing a one-year deal with the Giants in free agency, the veteran will assume the starting position to start the season. Since minicamp, countless members of the Giants have spoken out about Dart and his abilities. Among the most recent to do so was running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. While appearing on Good Morning Football, he touched on how confident the first-round pick has looked in his early days in the pros.

Cool Dude, coming in with the swagger, kind of that Italian vibe, but he's not Italian," Tracy said. "He's got a lot of confidence, but he also has a lot of humility. He understands that he doesn't know it all." This is what New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was banking on happening. His hand-picked quarterback, Jaxson Dart, rode in on a white steed to help salvage a fast-sinking ship where a lot of futures were on the line, including DAboll’s, so much so that at the... Although the kid wasn’t perfect in his debut as an NFL starter, he took the reins, delivered the goods, and was efficient in leading the Giants to a 21-18 win over the previously undefeated...

It began with an impressive opening drive that culminated in the Giants’ first score on an opening possession at home since Nov. 13, 2022, vs. Houston. And it continued with the Giants scoring on three of their first four drives of the game, giving them enough to take a lead they'd never relinquish. “Yeah, I mean, that's his job as a quarterback, make good decisions,” Daboll said after the game. “Convert, make the right choice.

It wasn't perfect; I didn't expect it to be in this first game. But a tough opponent, a 3-0 team with pretty good defense. New York Giants fans got to see their first glimpse of first-round rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart over the weekend, as the Ole Miss product took the field after Russell Wilson played the opening drive. Dart went 12-of-19 for 154 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 24 yards with his legs. The performance from Dart was impressive not just for Giants fans but for outsiders as well. Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports ranked Dart as the best rookie quarterback from the first week of preseason, complimenting the first-rounder's showing against starters (something that can't be said for the other rookies taking...

"In all, Dart was in the driver's seat for three scoring drives on his four first-half possessions. Dart looked comfortable in the pocket, made tight window throws, and when the pressure started to get home, he showed off his mobility with 24 yards on the ground. His best play of the day was by far his 28-yard touchdown pass to Lil'Jordan Humphrey. On top of hitting his receiver in stride, Dart completed the pass despite a defender crashing towards him and taking a hit." Sure, this was only the preseason and just one game at that but it's a much better feeling to see Dart playing well than to see him struggle. Maybe the first-rounder doesn't see a ton of playing time this year (hopefully because Wilson is playing well enough to keep the Giants in playoff contention) but fans feel pretty good about their young...

The fact that Dart performed well against starters is a major plus too. He showed why the Giants were interested in drafting him and hopefully, when his time to take the field in the regular season comes, he'll play just as well as he did in his... The long wait is finally over, and the New York Giants have arrived at training camp. After an offseason where general manager Joe Schoen revamped the roster via free agency and the draft, there’s optimism surrounding the team. One of the new additions to the team is rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, whom Schoen traded back into the first round to take with the 25th overall pick. There’s been a ton of speculation on what New York intends to do with their rookie QB.

Some feel 2025 should be a redshirt season for Dart, where he sits and learns from Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. At the same time, others feel the Giants should throw caution to the wind and give Dart a chance to compete to be the starter. If he hopes to get more first-team reps sooner, here’s what Dart needs to do to create a quarterback controversy in August. Dart will start the summer third on the depth chart, and if he has any aspirations of moving up, he must show that he has a firm grasp on the offense and not turn... Head coach Brian Daboll will not accept turnovers, whether it’s in practice or the preseason. Often, rookie quarterbacks have a high tendency to turn the ball over early in their careers.

If the 22-year-old quarterback shows a tendency to turn the ball over, there’s no way he’ll move ahead of Wilson and Winston. The New York Giants made the inevitable decision to start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Should we be surprised? No. Is the timing questionable? Yes.

Russell Wilson cemented his status as the Giants’ bridge quarterback when he signed a one-year contract in March. Wilson’s subpar performance through three weeks combined with New York’s 0-3 start expedited the process. Wilson’s 59% completion percentage ranks 27th among quarterbacks with at least 60 dropbacks and his 78.5 passer rating is last among NFC East starting quarterbacks. The 14-year veteran’s mystifying choice to throw the football away on fourth-and-goal in the fourth quarter during the Giants’ 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs might have sealed his fate. "We're working through all the personnel decisions," Giants coach Brian Daboll answered when asked if Wilson would remain the starter after the team’s Week 3 defeat. "I'm not saying who's starting or who's not starting.

I'm just saying we're evaluating everything right now."
