When I&#8217;m on the field, I&#8217;m going to be aggressive in any situation. A quote that we go by in the quarterback room is, &#8216;Being aggressive but not reckless.&#8217; So, when you have opportunities to put the dagger in, that&#8217;s what you have to do. And, at the same time, you can&#8217;t be reckless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Giants quarterbacks in recent history struggled walking the line of aggressive and reckless. In 2024, Giants quarterbacks threw 13 interceptions to just 15 passing touchdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They moved on from former first rounder <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/2179245\/daniel-jones\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Jones<\/a> during last year. While Wilson is the starter for now, the 36-year-old won&#8217;t be in the league forever and, with selecting him in the first round, it&#8217;s clear they hope Dart is the longterm future.<\/p>\n<p>Existing in a crowded quarterback room means more than ever, each player needs to take every chance they can to show off. Dart comes to New York from Ole Miss, where he was a three-year starter for Lane Kiffin. In 39 games, Dart threw for 10,617 yards, 72 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. Ole Miss went 10-3 last season and finished 11th in the final AP poll. And now for Dart, the transition is underway to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just trying to take advantage of the opportunities that I get. Trying to study late as much as I can,&#8221; Dart said. &#8220;I&#8217;m learning every second.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Giants open their will face the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/BUF\/buffalo-bills\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buffalo Bills<\/a>, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/NYJ\/new-york-jets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Jets<\/a> and <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/NE\/new-england-patriots\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New England Patriots<\/a> during preseason and open their regular season with an NFC East showdown against the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/WAS\/washington-commanders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Commanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images The New York Giants already choose their starting quarterback for the 2025 season, naming veteran Russell&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7,1801,13,56,27292,6,15,17852,10154,5357,572,8307],"class_list":{"0":"post-243628","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jameis-winston","10":"tag-jaxson-dart","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-quarterback","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-draft","15":"tag-nfl-preseason-schedule","16":"tag-nfl-training-camp","17":"tag-ole-miss-football","18":"tag-russell-wilson","19":"tag-sec-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114932880822199946","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
