New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will wear No. 6 for Big Blue this season. The issue was seemingly settled this week when the player currently donning the number, punter Jamie Gillan, switched to No. 12. Gillan now shares the jersey number with wide receiver Jordan Bly, who is unlikely to make the team.

It’s the elephant in the room that will cast a giant shadow over the franchise as the 2025 Giants report for training camp on Tuesday.

If Dart turns out to be a good player, Schoen and Daboll both will take and receive credit for the evaluation and the pick. But if Dart doesn’t pan out, it seems set up to lay the blame on Daboll and the coaching staff with Schoen surviving the mistake.
