Second-year QB Dart told NFL Network that learning the Giants' new offense under John Harbaugh is 'like your rookie year all over again' due to learning new scheme, terminologies, and situational contexts. Dart noted he's improved from spring to camp and emphasized the importance of grasping the new scheme completely, as constantly cycling through coordinators has impaired young QBs in the past. The Giants' offensive staff includes Matt Nagy (OC), Brian Callahan (passing game coordinator/QB coach), and Greg Roman (senior offensive assistant).PositiveRoleAug 1, 2026
Jaxson Dart was acquired via trade back into the first round as Brian Daboll's guy; the source projects Dart will make incremental progress during training camp and eventually take over for Russell Wilson midway through the regular season, with the quarterback room serving as a development opportunity where Wilson and Winston display different ways to lead and play in the NFL.PositiveProjectionAug 1, 2026

Now under Matt Nagy, Dart's development as a franchise signal-caller is arguably the most important factor for the 2026 Giants. He showed plenty of potential with 24 total touchdowns in his career-opening campaign; his second season is already pivotal.NegativeInjuryJul 31, 2026
