New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart slid after a third-down run during Monday's practice, drawing rave reviews from teammates at training camp in New Jersey. The slide marked a notable shift for Dart, who was examined on five different occasions for a concussion last season due to his unwillingness to get down. The defense erupted in cheers, with outside linebacker Brian Burns saying, "We've been begging him to do that for a while."

Coach John Harbaugh applauded the play, calling it "great." Dart acknowledged he learned from new quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan that he must stay on the field. While he vowed to still run over defenders on critical downs, he slides in other situations. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney noted, "He's being smart." Dart had nine rushing touchdowns and 487 rushing yards last season, but the Giants won only four games.
