\u201cWhat an honor, what a privilege it is to be here,\u201d said Dart before introducing the President.<\/p>\n
Trump then embraced Dart as he walked on stage, saying that the signal-caller has a great playing future ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank Jaxson Dart, this is going to be a future Hall of Famer in my book,\u201d Trump predicted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, thank you Jaxson. Lot of talent.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to speculation from Boston Globe reporter Ben Volin that Dart attending the conservative rally would spark tension in the Giants\u2019 locker room, right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor insisted that their \u201clocker room is fine,\u201d in a post on X.<\/p>\n

The Giants selected both Carter and Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and hope that the two can be franchise cornerstones on their respective sides of the ball.<\/p>\n
Dart provided an energetic rookie season in New York, racking up 2,272 passing yards and 15 touchdowns through 14 games played in 2025.<\/p>\n
