New York Giants fans haven’t had a draft this fun in a long time. First, Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter (a Micah Parsons-type guy with blue-chip potential) fell right into their lap at No. 3 overall. Then, just when you thought the night was done, Joe Schoen stuns the league by trading back into the first round to take Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25. One pick brought violence off the edge. The other? Swagger under center.
But with great quarterbacks come even greater responsibilities... and nicknames. And with a name like Jaxson Dart, the possibilities are endless. Star Wars references? Check. Pop culture puns? Yep. Dartboard metaphors? You better believe it.
6 pun-real nicknames Giants fans could call Jaxson Dart
Dartboard Material
Because when he’s on, defenses are the dartboard and Jaxson is landing bullseyes. It’s a nod to his precision and playmaking—every throw sticking exactly where it’s supposed to. If he starts carving up secondaries, this one writes itself.
The Dart Knight
Gotham’s got a new signal-caller, and he wears Giants blue. A perfect NYC spin on “The Dark Knight”—Dart brings the same kind of chaos, swagger, and “just wait ’til I show you” energy. Bonus points if he starts owning MetLife under the lights.
Dart Vader
The force is strong with this one. Whether you’re a Star Wars nerd or just like the idea of Dart turning the dark side into third-and-long conversions, this name gives villain energy in the best possible way. Breathing problems not included.
The Dart Side
Speaking of Star Wars... every QB has a style. Dart's is aggressive, creative, and fearless. Not quite traditional, but when it works, it’s beautiful. Giants fans may just want to lean into the chaos. Embrace the Dart Side.
Jaxson Six
Touchdowns are six points. Jackson 5 was iconic. Jaxson Six? That’s iconic with a spiral. The kind of nickname that just sounds cooler after an arm-cannon touchdown pass to Malik Nabers. Get used to hearing “Jaxson Six to Nabers for six.”
Darty Time
It’s not a party, it’s a Darty. Jaxson’s bringing the energy, the unpredictability, and the vibes of a Saturday day party that got a little out of hand—and that’s exactly what Giants fans are hoping for when he takes over the offense.
Bonus:
Dart Breaker
This one’s got dangerous energy. Not all nicknames are cute. Some just bring pain. Dart Breaker is what he becomes when he shreds a defense in crunch time. It’s giving major villain energy. The kind that leaves fans screaming and opponents broken. If he lives up to his potential? This one might just stick.
