US EditionWith Giants’ Jaxson Dart still facing big learning curve, these are his next steps
- The New York Giants held a two-day rookie minicamp over the weekend featuring first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart, their 25th overall pick.
- This minicamp preceded 12 spring practices, including 10 voluntary OTAs starting May 27 and two mandatory minicamp sessions, preparing Dart for his learning curve.
- Dart performed adequately during minicamp, completing 8 of 10 passes in drills despite some dropped catches, but he remains behind veterans Russell Wilson and Geno Smith on the depth chart.
- Russell Wilson, signed to a one-year $10.5 million contract at age 36 after last season with the Steelers, faces questions on his mobility and effectiveness, while analyst Chris Simms said Dart could start Week 1 if he shows exceptional form.
- The Giants expect Dart to use the spring schedule to build experience, with the possibility he could start by midseason if Wilson struggles, though an early start remains unlikely.
