Here’s the informal rewrite of the article you shared:
While everyone’s been focused on whether the Giants are eyeing Colorado stars Shedeur Sanders or the super-versatile Travis Hunter, it turns out New York might actually have their eyes on someone else entirely — Jaxson Dart.
Even though the Giants showed up strong at Colorado’s Pro Day on Friday, it sounds like they were more there to shake hands and make connections than to seriously scout. Behind the scenes, though, they’ve reportedly been digging deep into Dart, the quarterback out of Ole Miss.
Dart’s Making a Quiet but Strong Case
Dart, 21, had a standout season in 2023. He threw for over 4,200 yards, racked up 29 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. He completed nearly 70% of his passes and was even more accurate when you adjust for drops and throw types. But what really makes him stand out? His deep throws.
He wasn’t just throwing bombs for show — he had the arm strength, timing, and touch to do it right. He’s also got some solid mobility and looks comfortable throwing on the run, which is exactly the kind of stuff that gets scouts excited.
The Giants Want the Right Guy — Not Just a Big Name
Coach Brian Daboll has a clear preference when it comes to quarterbacks. He likes guys who can throw deep and make plays when things fall apart. Dart fits that mold pretty well. He kind of brings some of the same things Daboll got out of Josh Allen back in Buffalo — stuff he couldn’t quite get from Daniel Jones in New York.
Sure, Dart isn’t perfect. He tends to scramble a little too early under pressure and still needs to process things quicker in chaotic situations. But those are fixable issues. The tools are there — big arm, good movement, leadership — and he’s still really young.
So How Do the Giants Make This Work?
The tricky part is figuring out how to grab Dart at the right spot. If he starts rising in mock drafts, the Giants might have to:
- Trade down from their No. 3 spot, pick up extra draft picks, and take Dart later.
- Stay at No. 3, draft someone like Hunter, and hope they can move back up later to snag Dart.
Of course, they might just go with Sanders at No. 3 and forget all of this. But if they’re not totally sold on Sanders, Dart could be a really solid plan B — maybe even someone with more upside if developed right.
A Look Into the Future?
Picture this: it’s 2026, and the Giants offense has Malik Nabers as their top receiver, Travis Hunter on the other side, and Jaxson Dart running the show at quarterback. That’s a young, fast, and affordable core — exactly what teams want when building for long-term success.
GM Joe Schoen isn’t giving anything away yet. But with quiet buzz around Dart and teams like the Steelers, Saints, and Browns also showing interest, don’t be shocked if the Giants are more into Dart than most people think.
If they’re unsure about Sanders, Dart could become a serious part of the conversation very soon.
