Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Can Jaxson Dart learn how to protect himself? Dart did enough last year to excite the fanbase and show why the Giants traded up to take him in the first round of the 2025 draft. He has franchise-quarterback stuff and should continue to improve as long as he can stay on the field. But that’s the key.
Dart spent an alarming amount of time in the blue medical tent last season, and the Giants have spent a good amount of their time trying to impress upon him the importance of being available. Whether he heeds those lessons and learns to protect himself better — especially when he takes off and runs — will determine how long and successful his career can be. And it will determine whether the Giants can finally break out of the dreary cycle in which they’ve spent the past decade and a half.
“It’s still early for both of us,” Edmunds said. “He just got here a couple weeks ago. I just got here. A lot of it is just learning the playbook. I’m not going to lie. So, a lot of it is just us learning it, and then as we learn it, we can start playing off one another. That’s what football is. It’s both of our first time in the system. Like I said, it’s not like I’ve been with him for a year, but at the same time we’re still picking up off one another. So, if something comes up, like he’s a fast learner; I’m a fast learner. We get it right, so we won’t mess up again.”
Edmunds added, “He’s extremely hard-working. I’m going to take my hat off to him for that. You can tell he comes from a good system as far as what he was doing in college, so he picks up on information fast.”
Arvell Reese has wasted no time earning the respect of the New York Giants. The way the rookie linebacker carries himself on the football field is only part of that.
When the Giants’ No. 5 overall pick offered up his mission statement for how he planned on fitting in this spring, the words spoke volumes about his presence. With a defined purpose, the 20-year-old Reese sent a message to anyone willing to listen...
