It all adds up to this: If Wilson struggles early against a brutal schedule (Commanders, Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers), Daboll could turn to Dart sooner rather than later, as the hot-seat coach tries to keep his job.

ESPN analyst believes Giants will start Jaxson Dart at quarterback over Russell Wilson quicker than they anticipate in 2025

Tyler Shough is not necessarily blowing anyone away in the preseason, but he has been competent enough that he trending to be soon named the Saints starter. It will be up to Kellen Moore to develop Shough in his rookie year and if he does, I do think the rookie has high potential. He just must clean up mistakes.

The most hotly discussed topic surrounding the New York Giants is if and when they'll start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Head coach Brian Daboll alluded to a set plan for Dart and when they intend to let him play in the regular season.

Fox Sports host, Colin Cowherd, credits Jaxson Dart's rise during the preseason to his coaches, like Lane Kiffin and Brian Daboll.

We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn’t. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism.

Following Saturday night's matchup between the Giants and the New York Jets, Griffin took to social media to praise Dart's effort throughout his second NFL showing. It's safe to say the former Washington Commanders star is impressed with the first-round pick.
