"Jaxson Dart's time these days is spent mimicking the way Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels runs or Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott executes his hard count. His current job at New York Giants practice is to operate the scout team, in between digesting the limited short-yardage package that coach Brian Daboll and assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have designed for him in each of the first two weeks of the NFL season."
"These are just some of the things that keep the rookie first-round quarterback busy since he's getting only one or two first-team reps each week with veteran Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback. Dart's job entails staying after practice with third-string quarterback Jameis Winston and a bunch of the younger receivers (such as Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins) and running through the starters' practice script."
Jaxson Dart spends practices mimicking other quarterbacks' cadences and operating the Giants' scout team while absorbing a limited short-yardage package designed by coaches Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka. Dart receives only one or two first-team reps per week with Russell Wilson firmly installed as the starter. He stays after practice with Jameis Winston and younger receivers to run the starters' script and prepare the offense. The Giants traded back to select Dart at No. 25 out of Ole Miss. He appeared on three snaps, all runs, in the 40-37 loss to Dallas and will continue in a developmental backup role.
