Giants OC Matt Nagy Backs 23-Year-Old Jaxson Dart's Growth After 2 Strong Games

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Aug 25

Summary

  • Matt Nagy said Jaxson Dart has grown noticeably over the past one to two weeks, with his composure, confidence and command of the offense improving almost daily.
  • Miami stood out as a turning point, Nagy said, because Dart handled a new defense and different looks while executing well.
  • Two good games have also given the Giants more chances to work through in-game adjustments, even as Nagy said the play-caller faces heavy pressure to put the young quarterback in favorable situations.
  • Nagy said he saw Dart's "it factor" within two weeks of OTAs, but added the 23-year-old still must carry that maturity and competitiveness into the regular season over more than one year.
