Jaxson Dart enters his second NFL season with the New York Giants under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, shifting from a rookie-year RPO-heavy, shotgun-based attack to a more traditional under-center, power-run, play-action scheme. As a rookie in 2025, the dual-threat quarterback posted nine rushing touchdowns and 487 yards across 14 games, but the new staff has emphasized pocket discipline, smarter scrambling, and reduced exposure to contact after multiple concussion checks. Week 1 2026 production reflected this adjustment, with 54 rushing yards on 11 carries and zero rushing scores alongside three passing touchdowns. A bolstered backfield featuring Cam Skattebo and fullback Pat Ricard is expected to handle more goal-line and designed runs, while the emphasis on health and scheme fit could limit Dart’s designed rushing volume over the 17-game schedule.
