Jaxson Dart showed plenty of promise during his rookie season, but Year 2 brings a different standard.

With John Harbaugh now leading the Giants and New York entering the 2026 season with a deeper group of offensive weapons, Dart is no longer being evaluated strictly on potential.

On this edition of After Further Review, Dexter Henry breaks down what Dart must improve in Year 2, why his development could define the Giants’ season and what Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys could tell us about his next step.
