Jaxson Dart's injury shows why Giants rookie QB must change play style

"Dart's rushing style has garnered conversation," wrote The Draft Network's Justin Melo in a story published Nov. 3. "The former Ole Miss standout continuously lowers his shoulder and pads as a runner, initiating contact with defenders. Giants head coach Brian Daboll hasn't broken this habit. Dart's play style doesn't feel sustainable, and he may want to rethink this approach."

When Dart lowers his head while running, it causes him to take more hits. ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported Sunday's game was the fourth time the QB had been evaluated for a concussion (including the preseason). 

Now, that doesn't mean Dart — who had five rushing touchdowns entering Sunday — shouldn't run anymore. His mobility is one of his strengths, allowing him to extend plays. Still, he should slide more at the end of runs. Other elite QBs, including Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, have learned to do this, which has helped preserve their careers.
