SHOCKING Minicamp Truth About Jaxson Dart’s Giants Future Is OUT!

Jaxson Dart hasn’t been in the NFL long, but he’s about to take part in his first mandatory minicamp with the New York Giants on June 17–18. As the rookie quarterback continues to settle in, his main focus will be on learning the system and preparing for his debut season. Since he’s unlikely to see significant playing time this year, it may be a while before the Giants truly know whether he can be their long-term answer at quarterback.

Still, one thing is already certain: Dart will be constantly compared to Shedeur Sanders. Despite neither player taking a single official NFL snap, the two quarterbacks have been closely linked since the 2025 NFL Draft — and the comparisons show no signs of slowing down.

Fans continue to pit Dart and Sanders against each other

In today’s hyper-analyzed NFL offseason, every practice rep during OTAs and minicamps gets dissected. From passing charts to video clips, fans and analysts are using even the smallest pieces of information to form — and defend — opinions. This has led to dramatic headlines like “Jaxson Dart’s beautiful pass vindicates Brian Daboll for passing on Shedeur Sanders” and “Disastrous OTAs for Jaxson Dart have fans questioning Giants’ draft decision.”

These kinds of takes highlight the premature and often unfair comparisons being made between the two. It’s common for quarterbacks from the same draft class to be evaluated against each other, but the Dart-Sanders debate has already reached a different level — especially in New York.

Leading up to the draft, it was clear the Giants were in position to choose between the two quarterbacks. They ultimately selected Dart with the 25th overall pick, a move that surprised some analysts and disappointed fans who preferred Sanders. Sanders then slid all the way to the fifth round, where the Cleveland Browns picked him at No. 144.

That unexpected drop sparked even more debate, especially after reports emerged about a pre-draft meeting between Sanders and the Giants that reportedly didn’t go well. Some believe that meeting played a key role in Sanders’ fall and the Giants’ decision to pass on him. Even Giants wideout Malik Nabers publicly questioned the pick.

Because Sanders was a high-profile prospect with strong interest in joining the Giants, he’s now forever tied to their draft history — and by extension, so is Dart. As a result, every move Dart makes will be scrutinized through the lens of what Sanders does in Cleveland. It’s a storyline that won’t be going away anytime soon.
