Jaxson Dart holds the key to how far the Giants can climb in 2026, but Connor Hughes has serious reservations about whether Matt Nagy’s offense will bring out his best. Hughes explains why Dart may need to become a top-10 or top-12 quarterback for the Giants to make a massive leap, and why the new system could put far more pressure on him than last year’s offense.
The conversation also turns to Odell Beckham Jr.’s surprising resurgence, why Darius Slayton was cut and the Giants’ defensive concerns entering the opener against Dallas. On the Jets, Hughes predicts an opening-week loss, explains why Aaron Glenn appears secure entering the season and weighs Breece Hall’s expected workload. Plus, the crew sets the stakes for another season of NFL picks.
