New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart doesn't care what the Washington Commanders said about him.
While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart was asked to talk about what the Washington Commanders said about him on Hard Knocks.
In case you missed it, here's what the Commanders said about Dart:
"I mean, they got a pick off me," Dart said. "I haven't really been a turnover heavy player my whole entire career. So, I think that's just one thing that coaches say in every single meeting. It doesn't matter what team you're on, that conversation goes up in every single team meeting.
"I mean, it just gets me excited. I mean, just as a competitor, you want to go out there and compete. And obviously, they're acknowledging respect in a way, too. So, I appreciate that. You want to go out there and play really good for your team. And I think any time that there's teams that are game planning and they definitely give respect to a player, I think it's for a reason. And we do the exact same thing when we go against defenses. So that just competitive atmosphere is the best one to play in, for sure."
The Giants lost to the Commanders by a final score of 29-21. Dart finished the game 20-36 through the air for 246 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also carried the ball nine times for 63 yards.
New York is 2-12. Dart and Co. haven't won a game since October 9.
"Yeah, I just want to win bad," Dart said. "I mean, that's just really what it comes down to. We're all eager, we just want that feeling again. So, we're looking for it, we're trying to find answers. And the biggest thing is just, like you said, try to keep the spirits up and encourage everybody in the locker room. And we still got three weeks left, so it'll be really big for us to try to stack on this as a team. You only have so many opportunities with the guys in that locker room, so you definitely want to take advantage of it."
The Giants will have a high pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they won't have to draft a QB since Dart has played well as a rookie. The Ole Miss product has 1,802 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, 400 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns on the season.
