Jaxson Dart Seeks Revenge Against Saints in Crucial Second Start
Jaxson Dart, the Giants' new quarterback, faces the Saints this Sunday in his second career start. The matchup is personal for Dart, who felt snubbed when the Saints chose Kelvin Banks Jr. over him in the 2025 draft.
Dart has been vocal about his feelings towards the Saints, stating he built strong bonds with head coach Kellen Moore and offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier during meetings. However, when the Saints picked Banks Jr. instead, Dart felt slighted and now has a chip on his shoulder.
Giants GM Joe Schoen was cautious of potential trades by the Browns and Saints during the draft, which could have impacted Dart's selection. The Giants ultimately secured Dart, and his rookie development is crucial for head coach Brian Daboll's job security. Daboll himself showed enthusiasm for Dart, exclaiming 'That's our f-king guy!' after Dart led an 89-yard touchdown drive against the Chargers.
Dart is displaying resilience this week, practicing with tape and a compression sleeve on his left leg due to soreness from quarterback hits and tackles. He is ready to lead the Giants into the Superdome on Sunday.
Jaxson Dart's second career start comes with a personal edge against the Saints. His performance will be crucial for both his own development and that of Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Despite a sore leg, Dart is determined and ready to face the Saints.
