NFL teams value certain intangibles in quarterbacks, especially leadership. Jaxson Dart's performance during his senior year at Ole Miss highlighted his ability to connect with teammates across offensive and defensive lines. Giants GM Joe Schoen noted Dart's interactions during games, especially seeing him engage with the defense. This ability to relate to other players is considered crucial for a quarterback. Following a solid senior year, where he embodied these qualities, the Giants traded up to select Dart at No. 25 in the draft, demonstrating their enthusiasm for his potential.
"What really stands out about Jaxson is his passion for the game, leadership amongst his teammates and how he can cross sides of the ball... those are all things that we're watching and evaluating."
"In two years, Dart has shown growth, understanding the importance of building relationships... similar to how Tom Brady built connections... it's essential for a quarterback role."
