Giants’ Jaxson Dart Named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October

The award caps a month in which the rookie steadied an injury-hit Giants offense.

Overview

  • The NFL cited 1,014 total yards, 10 touchdowns and a 90.0 passer rating for October, noting he logged at least two touchdowns in all four games and joined Tim Tebow as the only rookie quarterbacks with a passing and rushing score in three straight weeks.
  • He is the first Giants player to earn a rookie-of-the-month honor since Odell Beckham Jr., and the franchise’s first quarterback to receive the award.
  • New York is 2-6 entering Week 9, with injuries to top targets including Malik Nabers and rookie running back Cam Skattebo thinning the offense.
  • Dart has publicly cast himself as a steadying presence, saying he has “overwhelming confidence in all the guys” who take the field with him.
  • Recent analyses highlight strong overall efficiency since Week 4, including a top-10 DAKOTA ranking and a high play-creation rate outside the pocket noted by Patton Analytics.
