The New York Giants are gearing up for the beginning of the John Harbaugh, Jaxson Dart era, as Harbaugh enters his first season with the franchise following a long tenure as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Under Harbaugh, Dart and the Ravens are embracing physicality.
“That’s what we hear every single day from [Harbaugh],” Dart said, via ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. “That’s the style that he wants us to play at, he has the right guys here for it. I just think that what he wants to do is what everyone on this team wants to be about. We’re hungry to win and I couldn’t think of a better coach to play for.”
Unfortunately, it’s been confirmed that one young player won’t be a part of that physicality.
“#Giants CB Thaddeus Dixon, a UDFA from North Carolina, tore his Achilles yesterday during workouts, sources say. An unfortunate injury for a rookie whose hamstring injury helped lead him to be undrafted,” reported Ian Rapoport before cotinuing with a follow-up.

For the available players, Dart is excited about what the group can accomplish.
“I just think that we’re very versatile, I think it starts there,” he said. “The other thing is I just can’t wait for all my boys to be back healthy. I’m excited for the pieces we brought in, they’re going to help us a ton. We’re just going to be a physical, violent team. That goes for the offensive side of the ball [and] the defensive side of the ball and special teams.”
