Just you know, calm it down. If you are out there too much, in my opinion, when anything goes wrong at all, that\u2019s what they\u2019re going to jump on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Giants players made it back to OTAs on time after the Knicks\u2019 Game 1 win, but even with that knowledge, Simms insisted that if he pulled that while he was playing, it would have severe repercussions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jaxson Dart (6) back at practice after going to see the Knicks in San Antonio for the NBA Finals.

I would have brought to the principal\u2019s office the next day, and the question would be \u2018what the hell are you doing.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even though Simms is opposed to Dart\u2019s off-field decisions, he still believes Dart has a lot of talent on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day that went on, I went \u2018oh wow, I underestimated his talents\u2019 in both things; throwing the football and the size in the running ability,\u201d Simms said. \u201cSo Jaxson Dart can be a superstar; there is no doubt about it. He has superstar qualities and talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dart now has a new head coach in John Harbaugh and an offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy, whose job it will be to shape the young quarterback into a star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jaxson Dart throws a pass against the Washington Commanders during the 2025 season.

They also brought over former Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The only question mark on offense is whether Malik Nabers will be back at the start of the season, and there\u2019s still no real answer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phil Simms had some words of wisdom for Jaxson Dart.
