Jaxson Dart is hoping that his NFL career has the same success as that of another Ole Miss great who suited up for the New York Giants.
Twenty-one years after Eli Manning was taken first overall by the then-San Diego Chargers and subsequently traded to the Giants, Dart — New York’s 25th-overall pick in 2025 — stepped onto the field for the first time during a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
A few minutes into the second quarter, he had his first touchdown pass as a Giant, firing a strike into the hands of Lil’Jordan Humphrey to give New York a 10-0 lead.
