In an ideal world, Jaxson Dart would have an SEC get-together of sorts in the Big Apple.
Appearing on “DeepCut with VicBlends” this week, the Giants quarterback was asked who his dream wide receiver would be with Big Blue.
Dart was quick to call Malik Nabers the “best receiver in the league” before going into his answer.
“But other than [Nabers], I think I’ve gotta get the LSU guys together. Gotta get Ja’Marr [Chase] out there,” Dart said.
Chase played two seasons at LSU — and opted out of the 2020 season — before turning pro and being drafted by the Bengals fifth overall in 2021.
He has become one of the top wide receivers in the NFL and is coming off a season in which he had 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns.
Dart throwing passes to Chase does sound like a Giants fan’s dream, but also notable in his answer was the praise of Nabers, who should be a dynamic talent when he’s back on the field next season.
Nabers suffered a torn ACL in Week 4 against the Chargers, which ended his season way shorter than he had hoped.
Dart told reporters during the team’s locker cleanout day that he couldn’t wait to have a full season with a healthy Nabers.
“That excites me a ton,” Dart said. “Just seeing him go through this recovery process already and how much he’s put into it, and how hungry he is for next season. I know that he’s going to be ready to go. I can’t wait to be on the field with him.”
Nabers had an impressive rookie season in 2024, which included making 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns.
Giants fans should have plenty to be optimistic about between Dart, Nabers and new head coach John Harbaugh.
