Before Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start against the Los Angeles Chargers, the QB1 appeared in a casual pregame outfit. He wore a black T-shirt paired with jeans, but the wired headphones, rimmed glasses and chains attached to the jeans stole the show.
Giants Vidoes shared a video of the New York Giants rookie arriving at MetLife in the outfit on X on Sunday.

Others were fans of the look and thought it gave him a retro, late-90s look.
“Wired headphones, chains on his jeans. This dude teleported here from 1999, LFG!” a fan said.

@SNYGiants Wired headphones. Tough as hell.

On the field, Dart’s debut is a high-stakes moment. He will become the Giants’ first regular-season starter of 2025 after a 0–3 start under Russell Wilson.
Jaxson Dart has taken only a couple of snaps in the regular season. He’s carried the ball twice for a net of minus-3 yards and has yet to attempt a pass. However, Dart impressed in preseason, going 14 of 16 for 137 yards in one outing.
Lane Kiffin praises Jaxson Dart’s character ahead of Giants debut
Ahead of Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start with the New York Giants, former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin reflected on the quarterback’s character. On “See Ball Get Ball” with David Pollack, Kiffin said that Dart’s traits helped him win over teammates in Oxford.
“He’s awesome, and credit to his family,” Kiffin said (per CFB on Fox). “His parents just did a great job. Their whole family is like that. That’s how he won the team. Didn’t win the team by speeches, any of that. It’s just, it’s who he is. It’s what he does.”
Pollack called Jaxson Dart his “spirit animal,” praising the QB’s relentless approach.
“Like, he’ll run you over,” Pollack said. “He’ll do what it takes to just love his demeanor in a world where everybody’s always wanting to be liked.”
Kiffin recalled doubting Dart’s intentions early on.
“When he first got here … my son, he’d take him to lunch,” he said. “And I was like, man, is he trying to impress the head coach? You know, like, he’s not. He’s just pouring into people.”
Jaxson Dart can make history on Sunday as no quarterback in 23 years has beaten a 3-0 team in his first start.
