Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart heads offensive trio amid injury concerns

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has emerged as one of the biggest risers in the 2025 NFL draft, climbing from his original No. 25 selection to a projected No. 2 overall pick that could send him to the Cleveland Browns in the upcoming re‑draft. Dart posted 2,272 passing yards and 15 touchdowns in 12 starts as a rookie, while also recording 24 total touchdowns and a high pressure‑to‑sack rate.

The Giants are banking on a youthful offensive core dubbed the “triplet”: Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo. Sports Illustrated ranked the trio in the bottom five of NFL offensive groups, citing lingering injuries—Nabers recovering from a torn ACL and Skattebo from an ankle fracture—and Dart’s five concussion evaluations. Dart acknowledged the need for smarter decision‑making, saying, “My competitiveness isn't going to change at all. It just goes into situationally—just what times it's worth it and what times it's not.” The trio has only played one game together, but supporters hope sustained health and chemistry will unlock their potential in 2026.
