Giants.com is counting down to the start of 2025 Giants Training Camp with 25 questions in 25 days.
17) What is the development plan for QB Jaxson Dart?
Matt Citak: As coach Brian Daboll has said since the draft, Russell Wilson is the Giants' starting quarterback. We saw as much throughout the spring, as Wilson took a majority of the snaps with the first-team offense. There is a reason why Wilson was brought in this offseason, and the veteran is going to be able to show he still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Not only that, but given the additions of both Wilson and Jameis Winston, it seems clear that the Giants want to give Dart ample time to grow and develop before throwing him out there. Between those two veterans and Tommy DeVito, there is a ton of experience in the QB room, where the rookie won't get put into action until the coaches believe he's ready.
"Russ will be our starter, and that's how it'll be once we get started here in the spring," Daboll told the media immediately following the selection of Dart. "Look, the process of developing a quarterback is just that. So we're going to do everything we can to develop him and bring him along. We have some good quarterbacks in the room relative to play time, experience, some medals on the wall, if you will."
Daboll acknowledged that Dart already has shown good improvement from the time he was drafted to now, as the rookie has been picking things up from the veterans in the room. When the team returns for training camp and the pads come on, Dart will be given an opportunity to showcase his growth even more, and in a more competitive setting.
