"Dart who completed 12-of-19 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown in his preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills led a 71-yard scoring drive to open the second half. Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Jaxson Dart's stellar preseason earned him a bump up the depth chart. The rookie sensation has been listed as Russell Wilson's main backup on the New York Giants' unofficial depth chart ahead of Sunday's 2025 season opener against the Washington Commanders."
"That means if anything were to happen to Wilson or should he struggle, the 22-year-old rookie is getting the call ahead of veteran Jameis Winston, who has spent a decade in the league. Dart continues to prove that he is light-years ahead of what head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen expected of him shortly after moving back up into the first round to draft him at No. 25 overall back in April."
"But Dart forced the issue. He stood out while taking reps with the second team during training camp. In preseason games, he was a revelation, completing 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards, three passing touchdowns, and an additional rushing score. He passed every test that Daboll threw at him, doing so with flying colors, further confirming that it is only a matter of time before he takes the throne as Giants franchise quarterback."
Jaxson Dart earned promotion to Russell Wilson's primary backup on the New York Giants' unofficial depth chart after a strong preseason. He completed 12-of-19 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown in one game and finished the preseason completing 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one rushing score. The 22-year-old rookie outperformed expectations after being drafted No. 25 overall and moved quickly from presumed No. 3 to active backup ahead of veteran Jameis Winston. Coaching staff credited his camp reps, second-team performance, and ability to handle tests from head coach Brian Daboll. Other depth-chart notes include Greg Van Roten at right tackle and Rakeem Nunez-Roches starting at defensive tackle.
