Dart has a connection with Manning and his family, who've been supporting him since he transferred to Ole Miss before the 2022 season.

While it's unclear which organization he was talking about, both the New York Jets and the New York Giants are among the teams that could target a signal-caller in April's draft. The Giants select No. 3 overall, while the Jets sit at No. 7.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, who has a relationship with the Manning family, says joining the New York Giants would be a “smooth transition.”

Jaxson Dart has the chance to be a hidden gem in this year's draft and he could be a steal for these three teams.

The Miami Dolphins may find Tua Tagovailoa's backup in April's NFL draft. QB Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss is intriguing.

Charlie Weis Sr., father of Ole Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., thinks Jaxson Dart will be a first-round pick in 2025:

He grew up in Utah, spent one year in Los Angeles at USC and for the past three years has been hunkered down in Oxford, Miss. Imagine if Jaxson Dart finds his way into the NFL as a Giants draft pick and embarks on his professional career in the league’s biggest media market?
