NY Giants Rookie Ranks Above Shedeur Sanders in Preseason List
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With one week of the NFL Preseason in the books, the New York Giants must feel good about the status of their rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart. The first-rounder entered the matchup against the Buffalo Bills after a short-lived run by Russell Wilson and delivered a performance that has been talked about plenty since. Recently, CBS Sports ranked Dart's performance above the Cleveland Browns quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, giving him the No. 1 spot for the first week of the preseason. "Dart had the most impressive outing of any rookie quarterback in my mind because he was going up against some of the Buffalo starters and performed well in that settling," CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan wrote. "The Ole Miss product came in after Russell Wilson got the start and played the opening drive. In all, Dart was in the driver's seat for three scoring drives on his four first-half possessions. Dart looked comfortable in the pocket, made tight window throws, and when the pressure started to get home, he showed off his mobility with 24 yards on the ground." The 25th overall pick came in and completed 63 percent of his passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. His highlight play, a 28-yard throw to LJ Humphrey, was praised after the former Ole Miss star put the throw right on target while getting rushed and taking a hit. Jaxson Dart #6 warms up before a NFL Preseason 2025 game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on August 9, 2025 in Orchard Park, New York. Jaxson Dart #6 warms up before a NFL Preseason 2025 game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on August 9, 2025 in Orchard Park, New York. Lauren"Me and [LJ Humphrey] have been connecting a lot during camp and whatnot," Dart said after the victory against the Bills. "He's been a great contested catcher on go balls. I liked my matchup one-on-one, and he was able to win over the top, and made a great play." One preseason game won't give Jaxson Dart the keys to the franchise. New York's head coach, Brian Daboll, was excited to see his quarterback put together a noteworthy performance, but there's always room for improvement. "There's things he can be better at, but we missed some opportunities on third down," Daboll said, reflecting on Dart's game. "Some drops, it would've been even better for him and us, but he's a confident young player and he's improved since he's been here. Still got a long way to go, but I enjoy working with him on the sidelines. He sees the game well. ... I'm glad he's here." As a team, the Giants won't overreact to one good performance. Dart will have two more opportunities to gain snaps before the NFL fires up the regular season. At that point, Russell Wilson will take over as the full-time starter, barring any shocking changes. For the time being, the Giants have every right to be optimistic about their young passer. "After seeing Dart's debut, it's hard not to be excited if you're a New York Giants fan," Sullivan finished.

AFL community rocked after Ben Cousins goes public with awful revelation
AFL fans have reacted with shock after Ben Cousins revealed the devastating effects of a concussion he suffered late in his career that made him forget the death of his good mate and the fact he was sacked by West Coast. Speaking on Mix 94.5 in Perth on Tuesday, the former Brownlow Medallist opened up on the effects of concussion and revealed a particularly bad one he suffered late in his career while playing for Richmond. Cousins won a premiership and Brownlow Medal while playing for West Coast, and captained his beloved Eagles. But he was sacked by the club for off-field indiscretions and ended up at Richmond in 2009. He played 32 games for the Tigers before retiring in 2010. It was during his two-year stint at Richmond that he copped the worst head knock of his career. The concussion was so bad that it left Cousins with no memory of the fact he'd been sacked by the Eagles, and he also momentarily forgot about the death of good friend Chris Mainwaring. "It was one of the first games I played. It was a pre-season game. I started the game and I came off halfway through the first quarter," Cousins said. "I don't remember getting hit or knocked at all. "I sat on the bench and had no memory whatsoever of the previous two or three years and I was like a goldfish. So every 30 seconds I would have no memory of the conversation I just had. I kept going 'why am I playing for Richmond? What's happened'. "They go 'you know, we picked you up over the summer'. 'Why aren't I playing for West Coast?'. No memory. This just kept happening. It was bizarre. Even after the game we went over the tape to see if I copped a knock in the vision and there was nothing in the vision where we thought 'gee it could have happened there'. It was bizarre." Ben Cousins had no memory of Chris Mainwaring's death Mainwaring died in 2007 at the age of 41, but Cousins had to be filled in about what had happened. "Even after the game I was still talking in circles. People were trying to fill me in on the blanks (of the last few years) and they said 'you know, you've been sacked from West Coast, you went to rehab', I went 'what?'. I had no memory of it," he added. "Even someone said 'Chris Mainwaring has passed away'. That was like being told for the first time. I was so emotional, I was in tears. I had no memory of it. It was bizarre." Ben Cousins set to play in EJ Whitten Legends Game Cousins endured a well-publicised battle with drug addiction that ended his time at the Eagles, and saw his life spiral out of control after retirement. After a stint behind bars, he's managed to get his life back on track and appears to be on the straight and narrow. RELATED: Richmond and Bulldogs players torched over 'comical' post-match move West Coast coach questions Leigh Montagna over 'extraordinary' snub He's set to play in the reborn EJ Whitten Legends Game at Marvel Stadium later this month, joining fellow greats like Cyril Rioli, Gary Ablett Jr, Luke Hodge and Nick Riewoldt. "For me, the chance to play alongside Cyril, you know? I'm excited about that,' he said. 'Everyone's situation is different but because he was 28 when he stopped playing, we all felt he had so much good footy left in him. To see him run around and have a kick is exciting and I'm looking forward to hand-passing to him or getting one off him. It's supposed to be like riding a bike, isn't it? It's a young man's game but I can get myself up for one, surely. How hard can it be?'
