Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Chris Simms is bullish on New York Giants rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart. Simms, an NFL analyst, was on the Up & Adams podcast and said Dart could step in and start the first week of the season for Big Blue.

Jaxson Dart did not begin his freshman season at USC as the starter but ended up starting six games. That’s the last time — and the only time — Dart has served as the backup. He will begin his NFL career as the third-string quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

What we saw and heard from New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was impressive as he took the field for the first time since being drafted.
