EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. (AP) — Jaxson Dart looks bigger and stronger than his rookie year in the NFL with the New York Giants.
He insists he weighs the same. “I’m not like Tim Tebow,” Dart said with a smile. “I’m not like that.
” Still built like a quarterback and not like Tebow, who became a tight end as a pro, Dart made a concerted effort in recent months to build muscle. That was evident as he took the field for the first week of organized team activities. "I just think I’m just leaner, and our strength staff has done an amazing job," Dart said Thursday.
“When you just get into the league, there’s a little bit more resources that you have when it comes to a nutrition standpoint, building out a plan. Had a really good offseason, and I was happy to make it through this past season healthy. ” Dart missed two games last season after getting concussed , and, yes, the topic of him getting down and sliding came up after new coach John Harbaugh , offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan took over.
