Jaxson Dart’s preseason brilliance has Colin Cowherd convinced that mentorship from Lane Kiffin and Brian Daboll has built his confidence.

The New York Giants signed free agent quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year deal in March in an effort to add quality depth to the position, a couple days before Russell Wilson landed with the franchise.

We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn’t. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism.

Following Saturday night's matchup between the Giants and the New York Jets, Griffin took to social media to praise Dart's effort throughout his second NFL showing. It's safe to say the former Washington Commanders star is impressed with the first-round pick.
