EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — One play into the New York Giants’ fourth possession of their second preseason game, Brian Daboll called in Jaxson Dart without warning.

Following Saturday night's matchup between the Giants and the New York Jets, Griffin took to social media to praise Dart's effort throughout his second NFL showing. It's safe to say the former Washington Commanders star is impressed with the first-round pick.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart is going into his rookie season with the New York Giants after being taken with the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He’s not expected to be the team’s Week 1 starter, though, with the Giants’ current depth chart putting Dart as the third-stringer, behind Russell Wilson (No. 1) and Jameis Winston (No. 2).

Fox Sports host, Colin Cowherd, credits Jaxson Dart's rise during the preseason to his coaches, like Lane Kiffin and Brian Daboll.

Reporter believes Giants HC Brian Daboll will take similar approach with quarterback Jaxson Dart as he did with Josh Allen on Bills in 2018

Dart has another stellar performance, Russell Wilson hits signature deep throw and Neal plays first NFL game at guard.

Once the regular season begins those strides will continue to be taken by Dart behind the scenes, in meetings and practices away from the scrutiny of media and the fans. That, though, won’t last forever. Dart’s time is coming.

After two joint practices this week, the New York Giants and New York Jets will battle Saturday night for MetLife
