– Dartโs breakout season: The 25th pick lit up the rookie year with 487 rushing yards and 9 rushing TDs, plus a blistering 91.7 passer rating. He finished with 24 total TDs to just 6 turnovers, and his nine rushing TDs set a franchise rookie QB record, ranking second all-time for rookies in the Super Bowl era. Heโs also in the running for the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year (fan vote). ๐ฅ
– Carterโs impact: The third overall pick became a disruptive force on defense with 43 tackles, 23 QB hits, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries. He led rookies in quarterback pressures and earned PFWA All-Rookie Team honors, showing burst, leverage, and relentless pursuit. ๐ฅ
– A rare duo: If either wins, theyโd join a short list of Giants ROY winners, and the pairing could become just the fifth to win Offensive and Defensive ROY in the same seasonโthe last time done in 2023. This duo signals a foundational shift for the franchise. ๐๐
– What it means going forward: With head coach John Harbaugh at the helm, Dart provides a stabilized, dynamic quarterback foundation while Carter anchors the pass rush, giving New York a bright core as the team builds toward contenders. The future looks exciting for Big Blue! ๐๐ฅ
