Jaxson Dart enters his second NFL season as the New York Giants’ full-time starter under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, following a 2025 rookie campaign in which he rushed for 487 yards and a franchise-record nine touchdowns on 86 carries across 14 games. The new scheme emphasizes more under-center work and a power-running approach modeled on Harbaugh’s prior work with mobile quarterbacks, creating opportunities for designed runs and scrambles while aiming to limit unnecessary hits. Health remains the central variable after multiple concussion evaluations last season; roster additions and a stronger supporting cast could influence his rushing volume depending on game scripts and play-action usage. Recent training-camp reports highlight improved pocket comfort, though Dart’s dual-threat style continues to shape expectations for ground production in a 17-game schedule.
