Giants Start Dart-Focused Offensive Overhaul Under Matt Nagy

New leadership is crafting a flexible system to develop the young quarterback with a focus on durability.

Overview

  • Nagy, speaking Tuesday as voluntary workouts opened, told Jaxson Dart to be himself and not try to copy Patrick Mahomes.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh said Dart can “live in a lot of different worlds,” outlining an offense that blends power runs, dropback passing, RPOs, quick game, play-action and deep shots.
  • Harbaugh has assembled a coaching think tank around Dart that includes Nagy, passing-game coordinator Brian Callahan, senior assistant Greg Roman, running backs coach Willie Taggart and tight ends coach Tim Kelly.
  • Help is expected at the skill spots, with Harbaugh noting Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers are working back from season-ending injuries and not ready for OTAs yet, as new target Isaiah Likely also joins the mix.
  • Analyst Field Yates sees Pro Bowl upside if Dart runs more selectively to stay available, a point underscored by his 2025 line of 2,272 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and 487 rushing yards with nine scores in 14 games.
