Eli Manning Defines Role in Guiding Giants Rookie Jaxson Dart, Passing on Perks Request

With Russell Wilson entrenched after a 450-yard, three-touchdown Week 2, the first-rounder remains in a learning role as Manning offers guidance with boundaries.

Overview

  • Eli Manning told Peter Schrager he is available to Jaxson Dart for questions on football and settling into New York, offering support without overstepping.
  • Manning recounted that Dart called during training camp seeking a 4 Charles Prime Rib reservation and said he declined because that was not part of the help he offered.
  • He praised the Giants’ approach of letting a young quarterback acclimate to the city and media, noting that early starts typically come with mistakes and scrutiny.
  • Russell Wilson retains the starting job following his Week 2 performance with 450 passing yards and three touchdowns, keeping Dart in a developmental role.
  • Dart, an Ole Miss product and 2025 first-round pick, is also learning from veterans on the roster, including Wilson and third-stringer Jameis Winston.
