There is no doubt that the New York Giants are one of the most intriguing teams heading into next season, as it appears they have found their quarterback of the future in Jaxson Dart. With him, the fan base is genuinely excited, especially because he made an immediate impact and the energy of the offense changed dramatically with him under center.
The Giants are now doing everything possible to ensure they don’t make mistakes in Dart’s development as he enters his second year, where he will be heavily scrutinized after starting 12 games in 2025. The first major decision was hiring veteran head coach John Harbaugh, who did an outstanding job with the Baltimore Ravens.
Harbaugh arrives in New York after 18 seasons as the Ravens’ head coach, where he won a Super Bowl and developed two outstanding quarterbacks in Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, the latter being a two-time MVP. Now, Giants fans hope he can achieve something similar while working with Dart, who appears destined for big things.
Malik Nabers appears to be back
With Harbaugh as head coach and Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator, the Giants must surround Dart with talent-particularly by regaining the one they already have: Malik Nabers, who is currently rehabilitating from a serious knee injury suffered in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The injury was a torn ACL in his right knee. However, according to general manager Joe Schoen a few weeks ago, the team expects Nabers to be ready for Week 1. Recent leaked photos suggest his recovery is progressing exceptionally well, as he appears to be in outstanding physical condition.
It’s worth remembering that Dart barely had the opportunity to work with Nabers. In his first career start-ironically against the Chargers in Week 4-that was the very game in which Nabers suffered his injury. Now there is optimism that the two will finally be able to build chemistry starting in the preseason.
A few weeks ago, Dart was asked who the best wide receiver in the NFL is, and he responded that the Giants already have the best one, referring to Malik Nabers. In his rookie season, the former LSU standout recorded 1,204 receiving yards. The hope is to see him play a full season catching passes from Dart and turn New York’s offense into one of the most dangerous units in the NFC.
