I don’t know what is less concerning about him: his lack of production or his college NIL mentality
 
Sign him yesterday! He would be good competition for Tua and a solid veteran backup.

Why?
Just why?
The post intimates he will be out of action for 6 months(ish) so having just had the operation he won’t be back until December/January.
Or are you expecting the Dolphins to push on to Superb Owl?

Giants minicamp takeaways: Jaxson Dart is already standing out from the crowd, from the Athletic

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Quarterback Jaxson Dart started his New York Giants rookie minicamp news conference Friday by doing things a little differently: He asked the reporters to introduce themselves before their questions.

Dart wants to start getting to know the people who will help shape the coverage of his career, but he himself needs no introduction. He’s the quarterback the Giants traded back into the first round to get in hopes he’ll become the next face of their franchise.

And though it’s still early, that process is off to a nice start.

Dart finished his first day of rookie minicamp 8-for-10 passing during seven-on-seven drills, with the only two incompletions looking like drops by his receivers. Dart put plenty of zip on his passes, and he even navigated a couple of tight windows. Again, it’s early, but he fared well considering he was the only rookie participating in those seven-on-seven drills.

Completing passes is obviously important, but the big emphasis for Dart is on learning the Giants’ hefty playbook and using a cadence rather than clapping, as he did at Ole Miss. Dart’s former method went viral in a clip talking about it with former NFL coach Jon Gruden.

Every undrafted free agent has a story. These are the Giants looking to defy the odds and make their NFL dreams come true.
ā€œThis is the first time he’ll be out there doing our stuff,ā€ Giants coach Brian Daboll said. ā€œThere’s a reason to try to get him in there and get adjusted to hearing the play call from the walkie-talkie … calling the play, not just running no huddle, (but) using the cadence.

ā€œYou say a couple of words, voice inflection, you continue to learn from that, but I wouldn’t say it’s rocket science to learn a cadence.ā€

Dart has already been practicing for this part of his transition into the league.

ā€œI’ve always kind of practiced it on my own, kind of just messing around with buddies and whatnot,ā€ Dart said. ā€œI think you have so many opportunities and advantages with the cadence. And you can do so many different things that can take advantage of the defense.ā€

Whether Dart will find himself in a position to take advantage of opposing defenses this season remains to be seen. The expectation is that longtime NFL veteran Russell Wilson will serve as the Giants’ starter.

Dart has never not been the QB1, so being a backup will be an adjustment for him. However, he already seems to be trying to take on a leadership role within the team. He said he has tried to speak to as many players on the offensive side of the ball as he could to get people on the same page before camp.

Fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo has noticed Dart’s intangibles early, calling him one of the ā€œsmartestā€ players he’s been around.

ā€œThe head coach asks a question, and (he) knows the answer like that,ā€ the rookie running back said. ā€œ(He’s) into (his) books, and (he’s) very smart. (You can tell) just talking to him about football and certain routes and play calls and just hearing him hear a call once and being able to call it multiple times back-to-back.ā€

Aside from introductions, there was also humor in Dart’s presser. The rookie revealed the necklace he was wearing at the podium was courtesy of his sister. He took it from her room before Ole Miss’ TaxSlayer Gator Bowl game victory, and it’s been a good luck charm for him ever since.

Don’t worry. Dart said his younger sister was OK with his theft, and she got a replacement.

Finally, though Dart was wearing a No. 6 jersey at camp, he’s not sure if he’s going to stick with the number.

ā€œI kind of have to just look at the pictures to see if I like myself in 6,ā€ Dart said.

So, don’t go buying those No. 6 Dart jerseys yet, Giants fans.
