Jaxson Dart Shines in NFL Preseason Debut, Thrills Giants Fans with TD vs. Bills

Jaxson Dart has officially seen game action in a New York Giants uniform.

The 2025 first-round pick was the second quarterback on the field for Big Blue on Saturday behind starter Russell Wilson, and he didn't waste any time making a good first impression.

The 22-year-old went 12-of-19 for 154 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 rushing yards on three carries. He gave way to Jameis Winston to start the second half with the Giants leading 16-10.

Following the performance, fans took to social media to praise his play and project when he can assume the starting role.

New York selected Dart with the 25th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was the team's second pick in the first round after they selected edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall. Dart was the second quarterback selected in the draft after the Tennessee Titans took Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick.

Wilson, who has already been tabbed QB1 by Giants head coach Brian Daboll, started Saturday's game and went 6-of-7 for 28 yards.

While Dart may not be the starter in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, he should have some time to develop under the veteran quarterbacks and eventually challenge for the job later in the season.
