tv Jaxson Dart lashes out after learning that Eli Manning’s son, Charlie, dressed up as him for Halloween, calling it a “taunt” right before the Giants’ big game
In just a short time, Jaxson Dart—the rookie quarterback for the New York Giants—has won the hearts of fans in New York, including Eli Manning’s son Charlie, who chose to dress up as Dart for this year’s Halloween.
During a recent interview, Dart smiled as he shared his feelings about Charlie’s choice: “I think it’s awesome,” Dart said. “I’ve met Charlie a few times; obviously, I’ve spent a lot of time around Eli. Maybe Eli feels a bit disappointed that his son isn’t dressing up as him, but it’s a cool relationship and I love it”.
When asked whether he’s expecting kids to knock on his door in costume, Dart was enthusiastic: “I hope so! I’m going to be ready. I love Halloween.” Dart is particularly impressed that many kids want to emulate his signature No. 6 jersey, the one-sided eye-black, and his favorite silver chain—just like his look on the field.
The story is even more special since Dart’s career has drawn comparisons to Eli Manning—they both played for Ole Miss, and Dart recently broke some of Manning’s school passing records. Dart climbed from backup to starter, helping the Giants score wins against top teams like the Chargers and Eagles, despite the team’s ongoing struggles this season. In his first five starts, Dart posted 984 passing yards, eight touchdowns to three interceptions, and added 195 rushing yards with four touchdowns.
