Ole Miss football quarterbacks seem to have a way with monumental success after three starts.
While the Ole Miss fans were just basking in the talent of Trinidad Chambliss, they got another QB to celebrate, who happens to be a most-loved former Rebel, and a now NFL sensation, Jaxson Dart.
And for that, Lane Kiffin must be a proud, proud head coach.
Dart's electric opening TD drive against the Eagles did more than just earn a wild 34-17 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion team. He produced numbers never done before by a rookie QB, and in some cases, even by MVP NFL QBs.
Fans cannot stop sharing every insane record they can find that Dart has either set or surpassed on Thursday night.

When asked about his achievements and the newfound hype surrounding the Giants, Dart chose to praise his squad for backing him up in critical plays.
"I think just as a team, we're trying to finish everything that we do. Finish through the whistle. In the fourth quarter, when it’s time to see what teams are about, we want to finish," the QB said in his post-game conference.

"When we have opportunities to win games, we have to take advantage of that. Shout-out to our defense. (Cor'Dale) Flott made an amazing play. I felt like that was a huge swing for our team. Everybody was involved in this. We're just trying to be a tough-nosed team."
If the rookie and his team manage to continue the upward trajectory in their following games, Dart will be one of the most, if not the most, impressive rookies in the history of the NFL in no time.
Brian Daboll and the Giants franchise definitely struck gold with their 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
And let's not forget, Dart still has 11 more games to go.
