The Giants would love for Jaxson Dart, the next Rebels' QB in town, to have as much success as Manning. Dart actually outdid Manning at Ole Miss, breaking his career passing-yardage record (10,617 to 10,119). The pair have a strong relationship. Dart has called Manning a " huge role model " in the past.

For the fourth time since the NFL-AFL merger, the New York Giants have drafted a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft. Jaxson Dart joins Phil Simms (1979), Phillip Rivers (2004) and Daniel Jones (2019) as the only first-round signal-callers to be drafted by Big Blue.
