NY Giants Standout Gushes Over Rookie QB Jaxson Dart
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. In the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants walked out with a pair of building blocks for the future. First, they nabbed defensive standout Abdul Carter with the third overall pick. New York then executed a trade to acquire the 25th selection, which they then used to take quarterback Jaxson Dart. Though the latter won't be hitting the field right away, his teammates are already starting to rally behind him. Dart has turned heads in his early days with the Giants, which could be seen as a blessing and a curse. This bodes well for him being able to take over the reins at QB in the future, but could also create early competition between him and Russell Wilson. After signing a one-year deal with the Giants in free agency, the veteran will assume the starting position to start the season. Since minicamp, countless members of the Giants have spoken out about Dart and his abilities. Among the most recent to do so was running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. While appearing on Good Morning Football, he touched on how confident the first-round pick has looked in his early days in the pros.

During an interview on FS1's The Facility, he opened up about his impressive set of skills at the quarterback position. "He fits the mold of what they like at quarterback," Tracy said. "He likes to run, he likes to throw the ball deep, he's one of them people that be out there hooping. You see him playing and you're like, wow okay."

Last season, he became just the second Giants rookie running back to break 1,000 yards from scrimmage. Tracy finished the 2024 campaign with 839 yards and five touchdowns on the ground to go with 284 receiving yards.

Wimbledon heat like nowhere else, says defeated Dart
Harriet Dart admitted the British heat was like nothing she'd experienced after defeat on a sizzling first day at Wimbledon. Dart was beaten 3-6 6-3 7-5 by Dalma Galfi in a topsy-turvy battle that lasted over two hours on Court 17. The British wild card came from behind to take the first set but then saw control of the contest slip away as the Hungarian fought back amidst temperatures of over 30 degrees celsius in south-west London. The deciding set took just shy of an hour as the two players sweated it out, with Dart eventually tasting defeat to end her singles run at the first hurdle. And the Hampstead player admitted she had never played in such sweltering conditions as those at her home Slam. 'It was challenging but it's the same for everyone,' she said. 'I don't think I've played a match where it was this hot on grass. "We're not very well equipped in this country to deal with it, so it becomes more of a shock. I've played in hotter places but here it's a shock because even when you go inside it's still pretty warm, so you can't escape it. 'It was difficult with half the sun on the court and half of it in shade. I was slow to adapt to seeing the ball but she served really well, particularly in big moments.' Dart made a memorable run to the third-round last year, defeating compatriot Katie Boulter in an absorbing battle of the Brits en route. But the 28-year-old insisted there was no lingering memories of her previous Wimbledon experiences as she was simply left frustrated with letting a strong position slip away from her this time around. 'I'm disappointed,' she added. 'I felt like I was in a winning position but she also played some good tennis so credit to her. Where it needed to be done, she was able to get over the finish line. 'Every tournament is new so I don't try to think about what I've done previously. You can take confidence from wins in the past but it's a new tournament with different opponents. It's always going to be tough, whoever you play.' Dart's time in SW19 is not quite over, with the Londoner set to team up with Maia Lumsden in the women's doubles. They will take on McCartney Kessler and Clara Tauson in their opening match, before a potential meeting with top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova should they progress.

Respected NFL analyst says New York Giants' Jaxson Dart needs a 'complete offense'
The New York Giants believe they may have found their future at quarterback with the selection of Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart in the first round of this year's NFL Draft, but it still remains to be seen whether or not they're right. Dart has been impressive thus far in practices and drills, and now must take the next step in becoming a viable NFL quarterback as the Giants prepare to open training camp later this month. One expert, Greg Cosell of NFL Films, speaking on a Philadelphia Eagles podcast called Inside the Birds, believes that Dart can be successful but will need to be in the right environment. "Dart's an interesting player. The mobility is a factor. You do have to factor that into the equation," Cosell said, as transcribed by Big Blue View. "Everybody always says, 'Well, he's not special.' Well, I don't know what they mean when they say that. There's only one Lamar Jackson. There's only one Josh Allen, who is 6-5, 240. There's only one [Patrick] Mahomes with his spatial awareness. So, you can't just start saying, 'Well, it's not special.'" Cosell continued... "He's going to run for first downs. He may not be the fastest guy on the field, but that's a part of his game that's meaningful," he said. "I think he's a good thrower. I don't think he's a great thrower. I thought that at times his deep throws lost a little energy on the back end. Sometimes he works hard to throw the ball. "I think he needs, in some ways, what Russell Wilson needs. He needs a complete offense." And that is perhaps the reason why the Giants also brought in Wilson this season to be their bridge starter. The Giants needed continuity on offense (among other things), and the styles of the two players will make it easier to transition when the time comes. Dart is scheduled to be a spectator most of his rookie season as the Giants' coaching staff readies him for a starting role. Some believe that it could be sooner rather than later, while others think Wilson will play well enough to maintain his status as the starter. Cosell is among the former in that school of thought, stating that this season is not about winning as much as it is about developing Dart. The Giants have a plan for Dart, but early returns indicate that his learning curve may be flatter than first anticipated. "He has done excellent. He's picking up the information," head coach Brian Daboll said at the team's minicamp in mid-June. "It's really good to have Russ and Jameis (Winston) and even Tommy (DeVito) because Tommy's been in the system for a few years here. And he's kind of the head statesman in terms of that, and all the adjustments that take place or the calls. "He's fit right in with those guys. He's smart. He's aggressive with the football, which I like. And then the true test will be once we start, and there's live hitting and preseason games and things like that. But he's progressed since he's been here to where he is now. He's made good improvement." The Giants still don't have a complete offense, and that may keep Dart on the bench this season, unless Wilson falters.
