Overview
- Reporters and team evaluators now view Dart as a quarterback with franchise traits whose repeated blue‑tent concussion checks and two diagnosed concussions are the main constraint on his career and the Giants’ progress.
- John Harbaugh’s new staff has begun reshaping the offense in OTAs and minicamp with a clear emphasis on coaching Dart to avoid risky scrambles and lower his exposure to high‑impact hits.
- As a rookie Dart started 12 games, passed for 2,272 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, but he missed time after concussions and entered the blue tent multiple times for protocol checks.
- Dart’s May appearance with President Donald Trump increased off‑field attention while Harbaugh has publicly praised Dart’s competitiveness and said the quarterback is adjusting well to the new system.
- The Giants plan to monitor Dart’s availability through OTAs and training camp with his ability to protect himself seen as the decisive factor for whether he remains the Week 1 starter and whether the team can improve.
