The New York Giants intend for quarterback Jaxson Dart to maintain his running style in 2026. Despite concerns over Dart's health due to hits sustained during his rookie season, the team will focus on improving his decision-making rather than reducing his rushing attempts. Dart, who was drafted 25th overall in 2025, struggled at times with self-protection, being checked for concussions multiple times and missing two games. Analysts suggest that if Dart can stay healthy, he may improve significantly in his second year.
