The New York Giants emphasize quarterback Jaxson Dart's growth as a key priority for the 2026 NFL season. New head coach John Harbaugh aims to maximize Dart's potential after drafting him 25th overall in 2025, hoping to break the team's ongoing losing streak since their 2011 Super Bowl win. Dart showcased talent during his rookie season but needs to develop key skills such as patience in the pocket and reading defenses. Harbaugh has a history of successfully developing quarterbacks, having worked with Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
