Watch former Ole Miss and NFL QB Eli Manning welcome Jaxson Dart to the New York Giants after he was picked in the NFL draft on Thursday:

Not every great Rebel was drafted, however, as tight end Cade Prieskorn never heard his name called at any point during the seven rounds. During his two years at Ole Miss, he was one of quarterback Jaxson Dart's favorite targets, catching 57 passes for 850 yards and seven touchdowns.

There was a lot of divisiveness over the New York Giants trading back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to pick Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss. However, a former two-time Super Bowl champion running back with the Giants, Brandon Jacobs, seemingly believes picking Dart over Sheduer Sanders and other available quarterbacks was the right move.
