In a season that has seen its fair share of ups and downs for the New York Giants, one player who has consistently impressed is quarterback Jaxson Dart. The 22-year-old was selected by the Giants with the 25th overall pick in the NFL draft, and since then, he has made a strong impression on his teammates and coaches alike.
Experience and Confidence
Dart’s experience as a three-year starter at Ole Miss has clearly prepared him for his new role. He exudes confidence on and off the field, often speaking with poise and conviction during interviews. His comfort level with himself, his teammates, and even in interview settings is evident to those around him.
Intelligence on the Field
One of Dart’s strengths is his intelligence. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo recently praised Dart’s smarts during an interview, stating:
"He is one of the smartest players I have ever met. He knows exactly what he wants to do before it happens."
Skattebo also noted that Dart excelled during practice by calling plays effectively and ensuring everyone was on the same page. This ability to communicate complex information clearly is a valuable asset for any quarterback, especially one who will be expected to lead their team through thick and thin.
Coach-Player Relationship
Giants head coach Brian Daboll had already formed an organic relationship with Dart before drafting him in April. During their pre-draft process, Daboll tested Dart harder than any other team did during their workouts or interviews. Daboll remarked:
"I think we were able to get some good work done."
He believes that this early connection between them helped make up for some of what they didn’t get from watching film or game footage, stating:
"We got more out of our time together than we would have if we just watched tape."
This close relationship between coach and player could prove beneficial for both parties as they navigate their first season together.
Future Potential
While there are still many challenges ahead for both Dart and the Giants organization as a whole, it seems clear that Jaxson Dart has made an excellent choice in selecting New York over other teams vying for his services. Dart is a young talent with plenty of potential for growth and development in the coming years.
In fact, his interviews suggest that he may be ready to take on a more prominent role sooner rather than later. With great expectations come great pressure, but if anyone can handle it, Dart is certainly one of them. Giants fans should keep a close eye on this talented young quarterback as he continues to honor his contract and elevate his game in the NFL.
