When the Senior Bowl week began there was certainly some debate as to who the top quarterbacks were participating. Not anymore. Jaxson Dart is the unquestioned QB1 at the Senior Bowl and is most certainly rising up the overall 2025 NFL Draft board.

The Senior Bowl is a tremendous showcase for NFL Draft prospects each year in Mobile, Alabama, and we often see stocks fluctuate at this unofficial start of the pre-draft process.  Scouts and GMs often pay more attention to the week of practices leading into the game on Saturday than anything else,

Jaxson Dart is making his case for QB2 in the 2025 NFL Draft class this week in the Senior Bowl. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants have already shown ‘early interest’ in Dart. A handful of teams reportedly have him above Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.

The Giants, with the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft, would almost definitely take Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders if one of them is available, but that is too high to go for Dart, unless their evaluation of him varies greatly from the groupthink at this stage of the process.

While it's unclear which organization he was talking about, both the New York Jets and the New York Giants are among the teams that could target a signal-caller in April's draft. The Giants select No. 3 overall, while the Jets sit at No. 7.

Jaxson Dart is in Mobile for the Reese's Senior Bowl and he's already impressed at least one football analyst in attendance.
