Hard Knocks Clip Shows Giants’ Jaxson Dart, Theo Johnson Flub Local Geography

The viral clip refocuses attention on Dart’s concussion evaluations during a season already out of playoff reach.

Overview

  • During the season premiere of Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East, interim OC Tim Kelly corrected Dart and Johnson about winds coming off the ocean near the Meadowlands.
  • On camera, Dart mistakenly said the ocean was in the opposite direction and answered “Pennsylvania” when asked what lies beyond Manhattan, while Kelly and Johnson pointed out Long Island.
  • The exchange circulated widely on social media, with outlets highlighting the lighthearted gaffe and fans mocking the players’ geography confusion.
  • ClutchPoints noted Dart has been evaluated multiple times this season for concussions and recently returned after clearing protocol.
  • Dart has said he will keep his aggressive playing style, and TMZ reported the Giants were eliminated from playoff contention two weeks earlier with a loss to the Lions.
