- Dart expressed confusion and frustration about the frequent mandatory medical evaluations he undergoes after hits, though he respects the NFL's health protocols.
- The NFL’s concussion protocol mandates these medical checks, and no player has previously been singled out for more frequent evaluations.
- Dart was involved in a notable 2022 incident where the Giants and coaching staff were fined for trying to rush his concussion evaluation for strategic reasons.
- Despite Dart’s comments, medical spotters are likely to monitor him even more closely to ensure his safety and compliance with concussion protocols.
