Jaxson Dart, the Giants' rookie quarterback, faced misconceptions regarding his transition to professional football due to a viral clip of Jon Gruden mocking his clapping for snap counts. Contrary to this portrayal, Dart's adaptation to traditional NFL snap counts has proven to be straightforward during his participation in OTAs and training camp, indicating that the change is manageable and not as challenging as it might appear. This revelation underscores Dart's preparedness for the next level of play.
There was no need for a round of applause the first time Jaxson Dart used a snap count during Friday's practice. A viral video clip of former NFL head coach Jon Gruden teasing Dart for clapping when he wanted the ball snapped at Ole Miss helped create a false impression the Giants' rookie quarterback has a big adjustment to make.
Really? Every time? The Super Bowl winner asked Dart during a pre-draft meeting for "Gruden's QB Class" on Barstool Sports. "No s-t. For three years, you've been clapping? I think I could do that."
But it turns out that transitioning from clapping to NFL verbiage is a relatively simple change to get the hang of when he runs the third-team offense during OTAs and training camp.
