Ole Miss Produces NFL Standouts, Giants Advised to Develop Jaxson Dart Slowly

In the past 20 years, the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) has proven to be a consistent producer of NFL-caliber players, despite not being traditionally known as an elite football powerhouse. The New York Giants, in particular, have benefited from this pipeline, with two of their current players, Eli Manning and Jaxson Dart, hailing from Ole Miss.

According to NFL veteran Patrick Willis, who recently discussed Dart's potential with Gameshub, the young quarterback has been impressing scouts with his preseason performance. However, Willis cautions that there are "levels to it" when it comes to the NFL, and Dart should not be rushed into the starting role just yet.

Willis believes that the Giants should continue to develop Dart, keeping him "humble and hungry" as he learns the ropes. The team can "ride with the old head" (referring to Russell Wilson) for now, and only consider starting Dart if Wilson's season falters or he gets injured. This approach, Willis argues, will ensure that Dart is truly ready when the time comes for him to take over the reins.

The sentiment expressed by Willis echoes the sentiments of the Giants' general manager, Joe Schoen, and head coach, Brian Daboll. They understand that Dart has the potential to contribute immediately, but the priority is to ensure he is fully prepared before being thrust into the starting role.
