Jaxson Dart's confidence is among the many redeeming qualities that have positioned him as the New York Giants' franchise quarterback -- or so we thought. However, recent intel suggests that's not a foregone conclusion if they end up with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Will the Giants seriously consider Indiana signal-caller Fernando Mendoza, the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, if given the chance? NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggested that's possible not long before the Week 17 Sunday slate of action. Then, Dart proceeded to put up his best performance in over a month and in New York's (costly) victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
