New York Giants<\/a> quarterback Jaxson Dart’s aggressive playing style has put him under intense NFL scrutiny, resulting in his league-leading fifth concussion evaluation in just 10 games dating back to the preseason.<\/p>\n

During Sunday’s 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders<\/a>, Dart was pulled in a critical moment — after a first-and-goal at the 2-yard line — for yet another check, despite insisting he didn’t take a significant hit.<\/p>\n

The rookie signal-caller expressed clear frustration in his postgame press conference.<\/p>\n

“I tried to put a little trick pass on it. They did a good job of covering it, so didn’t want to make a bad play worse by forcing the ball. Just tried to get it back to the line of scrimmage,” he told reporters. “I’m not really sure what the reason was I had to come out of the game. It was just a really — it was weird. I don’t understand it.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether this removal surprised him, Dart said it wasn’t the first time.<\/p>\n

“This definitely wasn’t the first time that I’ve been surprised that I\u2019ve had to come out,” he said. “But I was definitely surprised, just didn’t feel like it was that big of a hit at all. Obviously, just the situation that we were in, too, first-and-goal on the two, that’s a big thing that happens in the game. So, I was definitely surprised.”<\/p>\n

Dart acknowledged the pattern.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you don’t just see people getting taken out of the game like that. I definitely feel like there’s a sensitivity for some reason,” he said.<\/p>\n

Asked if the league might be overcorrecting after previously clearing him, Dart stopped short of being accusatory but acknowledged the unbalanced nature of his evaluations.<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure for the reason. I think that would just be something that hopefully can get communicated. I’m not really sure, to be honest, why that happened,” he said.<\/p>\n

On potential solutions, Dart admitted: “Maybe just run the other way. I have no idea. I’m not sure.”<\/p>\n
