Despite the New York Giants’ 2-11 record, there’s optimism for the team’s future because of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
The 2025 first-round pick took over as New York’s starting QB just four weeks into the season, and he’s been quite impressive when he’s played.
The 22-year-old signal-caller has thrown for 1,556 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 94.1 passer rating, and he’s rushed for 337 yards and seven more touchdowns on the ground.
Some of Dart’s immediate success can be attributed to his time under former head coach Lane Kiffin in Oxford. Dart spent three seasons playing for Kiffin at Ole Miss, where he was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2024 and led the NCAA in passer rating.
