With the New York Giants now under head coach John Harbaugh, he would bring in Matt Nagy to be the new offensive coordinator to help quarterback Jaxson Dart's development. Nagy, who previously worked with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, expressed his excitement to coach the 22-year-old Dart, praising his accuracy, toughness, and running ability.

Why it matters

Dart had a strong rookie season with the Giants, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. With Nagy's experience developing elite quarterbacks like Mahomes, his addition as OC could help Dart take the next step in his development and lead the Giants to new heights.

The details

Nagy was impressed with Dart's performance last season, noting his accuracy, toughness as a runner, and overall command of the quarterback position. As the new offensive coordinator, Nagy's goal is to build on Dart's success and help him continue to grow and improve.

What they’re saying

“I was able to watch a decent amount of Jaxson last year when I was in Kansas City. I remember coming away really impressed with jaXSON and his accuracy. And then I didn't know, back then, a year ago or two years ago, I didn't know how tough he was and how good a runner he was. He was a really good, sneaky, good runner, tough, physical, played the quarterback position well, accurate, and you can see he was a competitor.”

“My initial conversation with Coach [Harbaugh] was, 'Hey, excited, really looking forward to being able to help out in many ways and building that relationship and that trust. I know he had a great year last year, but we want to make it even better and continue to have him grow. I want to be there to help him.”
