It's a new day in New York, and it's headlined by a new quarterback coming under center for the Giants .

Naturally, this is a seismic moment for the organization, but one that was expected at some point. After all, the Giants traded back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select Dart at No. 25 overall, and that sort of investment made it inevitable that he'll see the field in a starting capacity sooner rather than later. And now that time has come.
