Every year there are NFL people who tell you that there's no reason to overreact to the preseason because it's not necessarily an accurate reflection of what players will do once the games count. This is particularly true for rookies who are trying to make a solid first impression but typically don't have the requisite seasoning. But you know what? That's no fun and if fans—and the media—can't get super excited about impressive August performances, then what's the point of even playing the games?
Perhaps no member of this year's NFL draft class has had a better few weeks than New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and the conversation around the Ole Miss product is moving in some interesting directions. Dart was once again impressive on Thursday night in the Giants' 42-10 victory over the New England Patriots, throwing for 81 yards and a score while adding a 23-yard scramble.
