Dart is part of a quarterback room that features presumed starter Russell Wilson, backup Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Daboll gave the Dart hype train a little extra momentum after Giants players reported for the start of the club's two-day mandatory minicamp.

The New York Giants plan to be patient with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart as he plays behind veteran signal-caller Russell Wilson, but they like what they've seen so far.

Dart, 22, has worked primarily with the second-team offense behind Wilson and ahead of Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. On Tuesday, ESPN witnessed Dart fire a touchdown pass deep down the right sideline on his final rep of minicamp practice. It's a promising sign for Giants coach Brian Daboll as training camp approaches.
