Heart of a Giant Award winner meets NY Giants’ Dexter Lawrence
Old Tappan football player accepts Heart of a Giant Award and Super Bowl LX tickets, meets Giants lineman Dexter Lawrence.
EAST RUTHERFORD − For Jaxson Dart, this is his team.
It’s been that way since the New York Giants traded back into the first round to draft him with the No. 25 pick overall, bringing him to the Big Apple from the same college as Eli Manning with the opportunity to be the one who leads Big Blue out from under those weighty expectations and away from a losing mentality that has framed so much around here for far too long.
His rookie season has had more ups and downs, and Dart has one final game Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys to leave an impression on the NFC East and the rest of the league as this franchise prepares to usher in a new head coach for next season.
How will Dart fare in his first game against the Cowboys? Keep checking back throughout the day for live updates and analysis from MetLife Stadium:

NY Giants vs Cowboys prediction by Art Stapleton
The pick: Cowboys 27, Giants 20
Here’s why: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott insists that he will be on the field Sunday in a regular season finale that has no bearing on the postseason. He has won 14 straight starts against the Giants after losing both games to Dallas’ NFC East rivals as a rookie in 2016. Will Prescott start and then give way to backup Joe Milton? Does that open the door for the Giants to cough up a Top 2 pick? The Giants want to finish strong with Jaxson Dart leading the way, but that will only usher in an offseason of change yet again for the franchise in terms of leadership on the sideline.
