New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a rally in New York on Friday.
“Look, Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here. I’ve got to start this off with a ‘Go Big Blue.’ I’d love if you all would follow with me,” Dart said to the crowd. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here. And without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.”
When he took the stage, Trump then shook hands with Dart before the quarterback left.
However, this did not sit well with some of his teammates, including a member of his draft class.
Specifically, linebacker Abdul Carter took to social media, which is what sparked discussions that there’s possible drama among the Giants players.
“Thought this s— was AI, what we doing man,” Carter wrote in a post on X.
However, the linebacker cleared things up later, writing another post on X that said, “Me & JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men. Yall can keep yall narratives.”
Offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor also chimed in on the matter, responding to a Boston reporter who posted the “Giants starting QB just divided his locker room.”
“Locker Room is fine. Focus on New England,” Eluemunor said.
Dart was drafted by the Giants in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, where he finished his rookie season going 216-of-339 for 2,272 passing yards and 15 passing touchdowns, as well as 86 rushing attempts for 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. As for Carter, he was also taken in the first round of last year’s draft with the third overall pick. He recorded 43 total tackles with four sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 8.5 stuffs.
