Rookie QB Jaxson Dart projected to take over late in season for Giants

Jaxson Dart hasn’t taken the field yet for the New York Giants, but the projections for when the first-round rookie might debut are only intensifying.

Dart, who starred at Ole Miss and was drafted 25th overall in April, enters his rookie season behind a pair of seasoned veterans: Russell Wilson, signed to a one-year deal, and Jameis Winston, brought in as additional insurance. That depth gives the Giants flexibility and Dart time, but it doesn’t take him out of the long-term picture.

The Draft Network recently released a set of statistical projections for the top rookie quarterbacks, forecasting that Dart could begin starting as soon as Week 13 against the New England Patriots.
