Matthew Stafford shares what he told Jaxson Dart after Rams-Giants
Matthew Stafford shared a message for Jaxson Dart, who left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury.
On Monday night, the New York Giants encountered a setback when Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury during the opening drive of their game against the Rams. Dart was hit by both Josaiah Stewart and Byron Young almost simultaneously while attempting to throw a deep pass on third down, which resulted in his immediate exit from the game after just a few plays. The 22-year-old quarterback never returned to the field and was later examined in the locker room before making his way back to the sidelines.
Matthew Stafford, the Rams' quarterback, found Dart on the field after the game and offered some words of encouragement. When asked about his conversation with Dart in his postgame interview, Stafford simply stated, "I just said I was pulling for him." He expressed that he didn't need Dart to divulge the specifics of his injury, as his primary goal was to let the young player know that he was rooting for him.
Stafford also emphasized his desire for young quarterbacks in the league to excel in their positions and hoped that Dart would be back soon.
