The Jaxson Dart buzz started to permeate last week when the Giants held rookie camp, and the first round pick had some impressive moments.
That led NFL analyst Chris Simms to throw out the idea that Dart, the 25th overall pick, could end up being the Giants’ Week 1 starter.
Simms tried to cushion the prediction a bit as he explained his thought process during an appearance on “Up & Adams” on Monday, but the “Football Night in America” analyst said he wouldn’t be “shocked” to see the rookie under center “right away.” Jaxson Dart continues to pass Giants tests as he awaits more
“I don’t expect the Giants to be a super team here,” Simms said. “I’m not picking the Giants to go to the playoffs. The amount of money they’re paying Russell Wilson does not guarantee him the starting quarterback job. Those are things I look at to go, if Jaxson Dart is phenomenal through training camp and OTAs and has a really good preseason. And Russell Wilson is just eh, just OK and doesn’t look all that sharp, I don’t think they’ll be scared to start Jaxson Dart here.
But Simms, the son of legendary Giants quarterback Phil Simms, could see that timeline moving up, especially with one big factor in his favor. “By all due accounts, it sounds like the guy really wanted was Jaxson Dart,” Simms said. “And when you got the head coach/playcaller in your corner and your his guy, he’s going to make sure you succeed and go in the right direction.
“I wouldn’t be shocked Week 1. I think it would be realistically, if you made me bet, I would say around Week 5 or 6 would be really the time I’d expect him.”Florida dad who paid $1,400 for family of 5's day trip at Disney World says he felt 'punished' by park
