The rookies of the New York Giants, Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, made headlines on Friday when they refused to touch the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Dart, speaking on the “Up & Adams” show, stated, “We’ll see it soon. We’ll touch it when we earn it.” Their decision sparked reactions from fans on X, with one fan commenting, “Closest they will get to the trophy.”
Despite finishing the 2025 season with a disappointing 4-13 record, the Giants have renewed hope with the appointment of 2013 Super Bowl-winning coach John Harbaugh. The addition of Dart and Skattebo has also added to the excitement among fans, even though the team has had three consecutive losing seasons.
Dart, in particular, expressed his excitement about working with Coach Harbaugh, revealing that they communicate daily. “I talk to coach every single day,” Dart shared. “I mean on the phone, texts, we talk every single day. And that’s just the relationship you gotta have with a quarterback head coach standpoint and I couldn’t be more excited to get an opportunity to play for him.”
The Giants believe that Harbaugh’s experience and success can help revitalize the team’s culture. Dart, who showed promise in his rookie season, threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games. The team sees him as a key player in their rebuild.
As the Giants look towards the future with optimism, fans are eager to see how Dart and Skattebo will contribute to the team’s success. With a new coach at the helm and promising young talent on the roster, the Giants are hoping to turn their fortunes around and compete at the highest level once again.
The decision of Dart and Skattebo to refrain from touching the Vince Lombardi Trophy until they earn it showcases their dedication and determination to succeed in the NFL. As they continue to develop and grow as players, the Giants and their fans are hopeful for a brighter future ahead.
