John Harbaugh: Jaxson Dart can live in a lot of different worlds offensively

Key Points:

• John Harbaugh, former Ravens coach who led Lamar Jackson to two MVPs but no Super Bowl, was dismissed after the 2025 season and soon hired as the New York Giants head coach.
• Harbaugh sees potential in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to run a versatile offense similar to what he ran with Lamar Jackson, combining power-running, play-action passing, and quarterback-driven plays from multiple formations.
• Dart showed promise in his 12 rookie starts but faced setbacks due to concussions, raising questions about his durability heading into his second season.
• Harbaugh downplayed concerns about Dart’s playing style, comparing it to Jackson’s approach of playing through physical challenges while trusting himself to stay protected.
• The Giants’ success this season will heavily depend on Harbaugh’s ability to maximize Dart’s talents and keep him healthy on the field.
