The New York Giants may have traded up for Jaxson Dart last week, but GM Joe Schoen said he will be doing a lot more watching than playing.

Winston was the first to sign with the Giants this offseason, inking a two-year deal, with Wilson joining roughly a week later on a one-year pact.

Thus, with two vets already in the room, it looks like Dart's rookie season will be a de facto redshirt campaign.

"Jaxson's going to come in, he's got to learn the offense, there's a lot to learn. These NFL offenses are hard to grasp and pick up and then be able to go out and execute, so the ability for him to learn and sit behind two consummate pros already will be beneficial for him," Giants general manager Joe Schoen said.

This past season, Dart averaged 329.2 passing yards per game, third best in the NCAA. In total, he passed for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdowns and just six interceptions, leading the Rebels to a 10-3 overall record and fourth-place finish in the SEC.

He also proved to be a legitimate running threat, with 495 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. 

At 21, he will be the youngest QB in the NFL in the 2025 season.

During passing drills at the NFL combine, Dart went 18 of 23 and would have had even more completions if not for some drops by his wide receivers. He showcased arm power and precision on each variety of pass, proving he could make every throw in the NFL. 

Dart, an Ole Miss alum, shares an alma mater with Giants franchise legend Eli Manning.
