Good morning, New York Giants fans!
New York was never going to scare Jaxson Dart. This is what he is hoping for in the next head coach of the New York Football Giants:
“Obviously a great leader, somebody who can bring people together,” Dart told The Post, “and honestly I think that the coaches I’ve had [ Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, Brian Daboll and now Mike Kafka this season] in my career so far have been really good at.”

Whether it’s Jayden Daniels (74.9 grade; 12th) or Marcus Mariota (71.1 grade; 19th) under center, McLaurin is going to get open and demand the ball — though Giants corner Cor’Dale Flott (68.3 grade; 34th) will look to limit those opportunities. ...
