Everywhere Jaxson Dart went, every 7-on-7 throw he made inside the fieldhouse, Brian Daboll was right there coaching him.

“He coaches me up like every second I’m around him,” Dart said, and smiled following his first day at Giants rookie minicamp. “He’s the guy that will walk in the room, say goodbye and whatnot and then he’ll come back 30 seconds later because he has an idea. He’s constantly coaching me, and that’s what I want to be around. I want to be coached the hardest, and I feel like that’s gonna help me excel at the highest level and help me reach my potential, so there’s not another coach I’d rather be playing for.”

Daboll has a two-pronged mandate to get the opportunity to coach his Quarterback of the Future in 2026: Score more points and win more games, of course.

And just as, if not more, critical: Offer unmistakable evidence that he can develop Dart into a quarterback who ownership can envision one day winning a Super Bowl.
