EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jaxson Dart tucked himself into a corner of a cramped media room as Russell Wilson stood at the podium discussing the New York Giants’ 31-12 win over the New York Jets in Saturday’s preseason game.
Dart playfully stuck his fingers in his ears when Wilson was asked to comment on the rookie’s dazzling performance. It was a lighthearted moment that belied an awkwardness that is sure to mushroom if Dart continues to thrive.
It’s impossible not to get excited about what Dart has shown in his first two appearances in NFL games. He followed an impressive debut last Saturday in Buffalo with an even better performance against the Jets.
Dart completed 14-of-16 passes (including 13 straight to finish his night) for 137 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He added a 1-yard touchdown run on a quarterback sneak.
