New York Giants' Jaxson Dart impresses coach Harbaugh ahead of 2026 season

Head coach John Harbaugh said the Giants' young quarterback Jaxson Dart is "adjusting really well" and praised his competitiveness during the offseason, noting the Ole Miss former first‑round pick continues to develop after a rookie year of 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Analysts also highlighted that the Giants’ offense could receive a significant boost from wide receiver Malik Nabers, who logged 1,204 receiving yards as a rookie. While Nabers’ health remains a key variable, his presence is expected to create separation for Dart and elevate the passing game. The team has added depth at receiver and tightened its running game, aiming for a sturdier offensive floor in 2026.
