As young athletes, we all have our idols and role models who inspire us to reach for greatness. For Jaxson Dart, that hero was none other than Tom Brady, who he grew up watching on television and studying his play style. And now, that inspiration has turned into a reality as Jaxson Dart has been drafted as the future franchise quarterback for the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Dart’s journey to the NFL began at a young age when he first started playing football in his hometown of Draper, Utah. From the very beginning, he showed a natural talent and passion for the sport. However, it was not until he started watching Tom Brady’s games that his true potential was unlocked.
Growing up, Dart was a huge fan of the New England Patriots and would never miss a game. He was in awe of Brady’s ability to lead his team, make clutch plays, and win championships. Dart would often study Brady’s techniques and strategies, trying to replicate them in his own game. Even as a young quarterback, he had big dreams of playing in the NFL just like his idol.
As Dart’s skills and talent continued to develop, he became a standout player at Corner Canyon High School. He led his team to multiple state championships and was named the 2023 Gatorade National Player of the Year. With his impressive high school record, many top college football programs were vying for his commitment. But Jaxson’s decision to attend the University of Southern California (USC) was greatly influenced by the fact that it was the same college Brady attended.
At USC, Dart continued to excel on the football field, quickly becoming a fan favorite and a star quarterback for the Trojans. He displayed a natural leadership ability, a strong arm, and impressive decision-making skills similar to his idol. Dart’s performance caught the attention of NFL scouts, and he was projected as a top pick in the 2025 draft.
And on that fateful day, when Dart’s name was called as the first-round draft pick for the New York Giants, it was a dream come true. He was about to embark on a journey to play for the same team as his idol, Tom Brady.
When asked about his favorite athlete growing up, Dart proudly names Brady as his inspiration and role model. He credits Brady for his success on and off the field and has even adopted some of his pre-game rituals, such as listening to the same music playlist before every game.
Dart’s journey to the NFL is a testament to the impact our idols can have on our lives. They not only inspire us but also shape us into the best versions of ourselves. And just like how Brady was a guiding light for Jaxson Dart, we can all find our own heroes to look up to and emulate.
As Dart takes on the challenge of being the future franchise quarterback for the New York Giants, he is determined to make his idol proud and pave his own path to success. And with his passion, determination, and inspiration from Tom Brady, there is no doubt that Jaxson Dart will be a force to be reckoned with in the NFL. We wish him all the best in his professional career and eagerly await his debut in the NFL.
