Giants' Daboll Reportedly 'High on' Jaxson Dart Amid Shedeur Sanders, NFL Draft Rumors

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is "high on" Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart entering the 2025 NFL draft, according to SNY's Connor Hughes.

There's also "not much out there right now" connecting the Giants and Colorado passer Shedeur Sanders, per Hughes.

The Giants own the No. 3 pick in the draft, but Hughes noted that Dart is considered a "trade-up option." The team also holds the No. 34 overall selection.

New York signed veteran Russell Wilson to a one-year contract worth $10.5 million in free agency, but the 36-year-old projects as a short-term option under center and may not prevent the team from drafting a quarterback.

Dart thrived under center for the Rebels in 2024, completing 69.3 percent of his passes for 4,279 yards and 29 touchdowns compared to six interceptions.

He was listed as the No. 3 quarterback and No. 57 overall prospect on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department.

B/R NFL Scout Dame Parson highlighted Dart's ability to change the velocity of his throws in his scouting report.

"Overall, Jaxson Dart has a good physical skill set to be an effective starting quarterback," Parson wrote. "His ability to change up the speeds of his passes will translate well to the league. He is more than willing to take the check down underneath. Dart's ability to pickup an NFL offense will determine how early he sees the field and the success that comes with it."

The first round of the 2025 draft begins on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
