Vic Fangio Warns Teams Will Regret Passing on Giants Rookie Jaxson Dart

The Eagles coordinator’s endorsement follows the rookie’s primetime breakthrough, with strong passing-plus-rushing production through four starts.

Overview

  • Fangio praised Dart as very athletic and an elite scrambler, saying the Giants have tailored their offense to him and calling his intermediate and deep throwing impressive.
  • Dart beat Philadelphia 34-17 in primetime two weeks ago, going 17-of-25 for 195 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 58 yards and a score.
  • Across four starts, Dart has completed 60.2% of his passes for 791 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions, plus 178 rushing yards and three rushing TDs without injured Pro Bowl WR Malik Nabers.
  • He joined Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson as the only quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era with 50-plus rushing yards in each of their first three starts, reinforcing Fangio’s assessment.
  • The No. 25 pick and second QB taken behind Cam Ward now heads to a rematch at the Eagles on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field, with Philadelphia 5-2 and New York 2-5 on FOX.
