New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka is a huge Jaxson Dart fan.
The New York Giants haven't won a game since October. Interim head coach Mike Kafka is 0-4 since taking over for Brian Daboll and rookie QB Jaxson Dart hasn't learned to protect himself from big hits.
However, Kafka is still a huge fan of Dart. Don't believe me? Just read what Kafka said about Dart on Friday.
"I praise Jaxson because he's a high-level processor post-snap," Kafka said. "He sees a lot of things, things that he'll come off the sideline, maybe my eyes were on one side of the field, his eyes are kind of scanning through it and he sees the backside hook defender and he comes off the field, 'Hey, why did you, where'd you get your eyes there? I saw this guy bail.' He just has such great space focus in his ability to play and so that opens up a lot of things in terms of an offense when your quarterback's not just kind of seeing it through a straw. He has a big vision of the field and that's a good asset to have in terms of playing quarterback."
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.
"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 face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Let's see if Dart and Co. can win a game for the first time since October.
