When Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin looks at Jaxson Dart, he sees more than a first-round pick trying to find his way with the New York Giants. Kiffin, who is entering his sixth season at Ole Miss, sees a path for what an ideal quarterback room looks like.

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden sent out a social media post about Jaxson Dart after the New York Giants quarterback's first touchdown pass against the Bills.

Twenty-one years after Eli Manning was taken first overall by the then-San Diego Chargers and subsequently traded to the Giants, Dart — New York’s 25th-overall pick in 2025 — stepped onto the field for the first time during a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
