New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor is setting high expectations for the team's young quarterback as the franchise prepares for its upcoming season under head coach John Harbaugh.
The 31-year-old veteran offensive lineman delivered an emphatic endorsement of second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, suggesting the young player possesses the talent to reach the pinnacle of the position in professional football.
"We all want to win, and we have every single piece you can need," Eluemunor told TMZ.com. "We have an elite left tackle [Andrew Thomas]. We have an up-and-coming quarterback who I think can be the best quarterback in the NFL."
The assessment carries considerable weight given Eluemunor's experience protecting some of the game's elite quarterbacks. Throughout his career, the right tackle has blocked for Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson, providing him with a unique perspective on what separates exceptional signal-callers from the rest.
Eluemunor, who established himself as one of the premier tackles in the league last season during a breakout campaign, emphasized that Dart possesses the intangible qualities necessary for success at the highest level of competition.
"He's truly determined to turn his franchise around and put this [team] back where he thinks they belong, and we all think they belong," Eluemunor told TMZ.com. "Determination can take you a long way in the NFL."
The veteran lineman highlighted Dart's dedication to his craft, noting the quarterback's consistent presence at the team facility. According to Eluemunor, Dart arrives first and departs last, demonstrating a commitment that has resonated with veteran players throughout the locker room.
"He's done a great job of taking that next step into that leadership role as such a young guy," Eluemunor told TMZ.com. "And, you know, he's got the team around him. Now everyone believes in him."
Beyond praising Dart, Eluemunor expressed confidence in the Giants' overall roster construction. He cited the presence of Andrew Thomas at left tackle and mentioned players including Cam Skattebo and rookie Arvell Reese as evidence of the team's depth and potential.
"Any head coach in the NFL would want a team with this much young talent and especially the most important position at quarterback Dart," Eluemunor told TMZ.com. "Dart's a fricking amazing player. I think he's going to be crazy this year."
When asked what Giants fans should anticipate from Dart in his second professional season, Eluemunor offered a succinct prediction.
"Lights out," he told TMZ.com. "Once he's on the field, he's going to make something happen and help us win games."
The optimism surrounding the Giants reflects a franchise eager to return to contention following Dart's rookie campaign. With John Harbaugh now leading the sideline and veteran players rallying behind the young quarterback, the organization appears positioned to compete as the season approaches.
