Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston Use Bye-Week TV Spots to Back Jaxson Dart, Stress Safety

Each appearance highlighted a mentoring pivot centered on Dart's development with safety paramount.

Overview

  • Wilson appeared on CBS' NFL Today from New York and Winston joined FOX NFL Sunday from California as guest analysts during the Giants' Week 14 bye.
  • Winston called Dart “definitely a young superstar,” praised his work ethic, and defended the rookie’s heart-shaped necklace as a reflection of confidence and love.
  • Wilson lauded Dart as “dynamic” but urged him to avoid unnecessary hits, telling him to get out of bounds and slide after a recent shot against New England linebacker Christian Elliss.
  • Reports note Dart has two confirmed concussions, four concussion evaluations, and two missed games, alongside 1,556 passing yards with 11 TDs and 337 rushing yards with seven rushing TDs.
  • The polished on-air turns revived discussion of post-playing media paths, with Winston’s prior FOX digital stint at Super Bowl LIX and Wilson’s CBS role reinforcing that possibility.
