Giants Center Offseason Rebuild on Jaxson Dart Under John Harbaugh

Harbaugh’s staff and scheme changes aim to protect and develop Dart even as a recent training‑camp taunt and questions about his consistency keep his status under close watch.

Overview

  • Dart publicly endorsed John Harbaugh’s leadership and is listed as the Giants’ undisputed starting quarterback for 2026.
  • Harbaugh has overhauled the offensive staff and shifted the scheme toward more under‑center work and quicker reads to curb risky plays and speed Dart’s development.
  • During a red‑zone drill on Tuesday Dart threw the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome II and the play drew a 15‑yard taunting penalty that Harbaugh enforced immediately.
  • League evaluators polled by The Athletic rank Dart in the mid‑to‑lower QB tiers at No. 24 and describe him as athletic with high upside but inconsistent decision making.
  • Dart’s mixed 2025 rookie year included a 63.7% completion rate, 2,272 passing yards, 15 TDs, five INTs, nine rushing TDs and two missed games after a concussion, making camp and the early season a decisive test of his mechanics, discipline and availability.
