Another week and another game of action for New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
The first-round pick got a full quarter of work in against the New York Jets Saturday night at MetLife Stadium. He got his first taste of NFL action against the Buffalo Bills in the Giants’ preseason opener Aug. 9.
New York traded up into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select Dart. His first live snaps as an NFL quarterback were promising against the Bills; New York scored points on three of the four drives he led with a touchdown and two field goals.
Dart ended up 12 of 19 passing for 154 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ 34-25 win.
Giants starter Russell Wilson played the first four drives of the game, the final culminating in an interception to Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers. At the 5:56 mark of the second quarter, Dart came in for Wilson. Here’s how fared:
