Best rookie QB situations: Ranking the 2025 class by team fit | PFF

1. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants. Considering the adjustment he’ll have to make transitioning from the offense he ran at Ole Miss to a pro-style system, Jaxson Dart landed in a pretty good spot in New York. Giants head coach Brian Daboll did a spectacular job developing Josh Allen over multiple seasons, and the Giants signed two veteran quarterbacks — Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston — to ease the pressure on Dart to start right away.

Dart may have led the FBS in passing grade in 2024, but he won’t have to rush into game action before he’s ready.

Before he caught passes from Jaxson Dart, Tre Harris threw passes to Malik Nabers.

Nobody in the NFL is better situated to analyze the new quarterback-receiver connection that the Giants hope produces a fruitful decade than Harris — a Chargers rookie who was Nabers’ high school quarterback and Dart’s leading receiver at Ole Miss.

Also, the Giants have slowly but surely built a quality skill-position group on offense and the blocking should be improved, so if everything aligns for the first-rounder, a spectacular season with a rating in the low 90s isn't out of the question.

New York Giants: at Patriots, Week 13

Patriots QB Drake Maye is always going to be the one who got away. The Giants tried to move up to No. 3 to select Maye in the 2024 NFL Draft, but were rebuffed by New England. He went on to produce an excellent rookie campaign and has the Patriots back on the ascent. Meanwhile, the Giants aren’t yet sure if they have...
