Be competitive.”Russell Wilson on the advice he’s given Jaxson Dart about staying safe and healthy, while still being dynamic@DangeRussWilsonpic.twitter.com/v8X98WAUjh— NFL on CBS 🏈 (@NFLonCBS) December 7, 2025Yet, Wilson tempered the acclaim with practical advice, drawing from Dart’s aggressive style that has invited scrutiny. The Ole Miss product has missed two games with a concussion and undergone four evaluations since the preseason, often absorbing brutal hits while scrambling.”I remember, you know, making plays and running around and spinning out of things. But I think the biggest thing is, once you get into free space,” Wilson said, “yep, being able to get down.”After absorbing a brutal hit in Week 13, Wilson pulled Dart aside: “Make sure you out-bounce, bro. Don’t play with that.”In a quarterback room brimming with ex-baseball players, sliding is second nature — a skill Dart must master to sustain his “juice.”Dart remains unapologetic, defending his grit: “We’re not playing soccer.”With veterans like Wilson and Winston guiding him, the 22-year-old’s superstar trajectory looks brighter — and potentially safer.This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants’ Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston praise Jaxson Dart: ‘Superstar’
