The New York Giants’ rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart, made headlines earlier this week when video footage surfaced showing him clapping before snaps during practice. The clip sparked concerns about whether he would be able to take advantage of being under center at times for New York.
However, those worries appear unfounded after Friday’s practice report revealed no issues for the 22-year-old signal-caller when utilizing what amounts to an audible at the line level. A source reported, "He used one (snap count) today without issue."
Performance Overview
- Dart completed one pass out of five attempts during practice.
- Two incompletions were due to drops by receivers.
- Another two passes went incomplete because they were overthrown.
The viral video clip was from an episode of "Gruden’s QB Class" on Barstool Sports last month, where former NFL head coach Jon Gruden teased Giants fans, saying:
“You’re gonna get your money’s worth if you watch these guys play. They’re gonna clap before every play.”
This comment created quite an impression among fans, who were concerned that their new starter had a significant adjustment to make. Fortunately, it seems that Dart only needed to get used to something new, just like every other player does each year.
Conclusion
Overall, it appears that Jaxson Dart has made a successful transition to using snap counts in practice. His ability to adapt quickly and execute this technique effectively will likely serve him well as he continues to develop as a quarterback in the NFL.
