Veteran Receiver Nabers Offers Advice to Giants Rookie QB Dart

As the New York Giants prepare for their first preseason game this Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, all eyes will be on rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. The 2025 first-round pick is expected to see significant playing time as the Giants' coaching staff evaluates his progress.

Fortunately for Dart, he has a seasoned veteran in Malik Nabers to guide him through the process. Nabers, the Giants' second-year wide receiver, recently pulled the rookie aside to offer some wise counsel.

"I had a talk with him. I was like, at the end of the day, bro, like everybody says, it's football. I assume everybody feels nervous but there's no higher that you can get but the NFL. It's the highest you can get, so you already made it. The hard job is done. The hard part was getting here," Nabers told reporters.

Nabers, who himself transitioned from a decorated SEC career to a standout rookie season with the Giants, emphasized the importance of keeping perspective and staying focused. He advised Dart to "Keep God first and continue to make your name proud, make your family proud, and that's how it's going to be."

The Giants are hoping Dart can be their long-term franchise quarterback, and Nabers' mentorship could prove invaluable as the rookie navigates his first NFL preseason game. Fans are eager to see Dart in action, but Nabers' words of wisdom serve as a reminder that patience and poise will be key for the young signal-caller's development.
