Giants Name Jaxson Dart Starting QB Week 4

Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed rookie Jaxson Dart will be the team's starting quarterback beginning in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers and for the remainder of the 2025 season. Dart, the Giants' No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 draft out of Ole Miss, will make his first career NFL start on Sunday. Daboll said he discussed the move with ownership but emphasized it was his decision; veteran Russell Wilson will serve as the backup and Jameis Winston is No. 3 on the depth chart. The change follows Wilson's struggles in a 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, when he threw for 160 yards and two interceptions and was booed by the home crowd. Fans cheered when Dart entered games in recent weeks, and the team hopes the rookie will reinvigorate a disappointed fan base.
