Jaxson Dart needed one preseason game to instantly shake up Giants’ QB room

If you had to name an MVP for the Giants’ preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills, most would point to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. In Big Blue’s 34-25 triumph in western New York, the first-round signal-caller went 12-19, throwing for 154 yards and a touchdown — not too shabby for his first taste of NFL action.

The 22-year-old was selected No. 25 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after the Giants controversially opted to trade back into the first round for the Ole Miss product. After Shedeur Sander’s dazzling debut on Friday night, the Giants were criticized for passing on him, but Dart’s debut was just as impressive, if not more.
