The Giants used a first-round draft pick on Jaxson Dart with the thought that one day he will be their franchise quarterback, and everything he has done in the preseason has justified that selection.

Jaxson Dart gave the New York Giants and their fans a scare on Thursday night in the team's final preseason game.

Luckily for the rookie QB, the Giants quickly announced that Dart was cleared from concussion protocol per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. On the play after his exit, Winston tossed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Jalin Hyatt for New York's second score of the night, with the first at the hands of Dart.

Unfortunately for Dart, officials pulled him off the field for a concussion evaluation — he passed — in the wake of that hard hit, and Jameis Winston threw a 30-yard touchdown on the very next play. An odd conclusion to Dart’s night, but another successful night nonetheless.

Cam Skattebo saw his first game action for the New York Giants and Jaxson Dart had an eventful preseason finale by throwing a touchdown pass and clearing concussion protocol following a big hit, with reserves playing much of a 42-10 rout of the New England Patriots.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart surprised by removal under concussion protocol in preseason finale win vs. the Patriots.

When the preseason ended Thursday night, Brian Daboll remained thankful that Jaxson Dart was his Quarterback of the Future.

For Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart, it was an NFL preseason party as the New York Giants blew out the New England Patriots, 42-10, to go 3-0 in the preseason for the first time since 2014. That team finished 6-10, so not exactly a good omen.
