Dart had just finished his sophomore season at (and first season with) Mississippi when the Giants signed playoff-winning quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract. The Giants did a nationwide tour of college quarterbacks during the 2023 season, even before Jones tore his ACL but especially afterward.

The New York Giants have an eclectic mix of players competing for their starting quarterback job, though naturally fans have a great deal of curiosity about the most inexperienced of the bunch, rookie Jaxson Dart.

For a second straight day, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka called plays. Kafka called plays for two years, but head coach Brian Daboll took that role last season. Daboll said only “good observation” when asked about Kafka calling the plays during camp and did not commit to how that would be handled during the season.
