Watch former Ole Miss and NFL QB Eli Manning welcome Jaxson Dart to the New York Giants after he was picked in the NFL draft on Thursday:

The New York Giants traded back into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft to select quarterback Jaxson Dart on Thursday. With Dart getting picked by New York, he follows in the footsteps of franchise great Eli Manning, who also played quarterback at Ole Miss before becoming the Giants signal-caller.

NFL teams aren't looking forward to the QB class of 2026, except for Arch Manning. But what if NIL and fit prevent the legacy QB from leaving Texas early?
