Jaxson Dart spent his rookie season proving he is the New York Giants’ future at quarterback. After the team benched Russell Wilson in Week 4, the 2025 first-round pick took over and put up impressive numbers in 12 starts: 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and only five interceptions.
He was even more effective on the ground, rushing for 487 yards and nine touchdowns, a new franchise record for a Giants quarterback. Although New York finished a dismal 4-13, Dart was a rare highlight for a rebuilding roster. This offseason, however, he is making as much news for his personal life as his play on the field.

One fanwrote, “There’s nothing natural in this video.”
Another followed the comment,penning, “Nothing natural about this.”
A thirdjoked, “Thank you bruh! Been waiting for this post — absolutely fucking no one.”
A fourth questioned why the post landed the clip on a football page,noting, “Are you gay? What is this makeup crap on a football page? Absolute idiots.”
It was not the most welcoming comment section. But Ayers, who has brand partnerships with Revolve, SKIMS, L’Oréal, and Ariana Grande Fragrances, is built for the camera and the commentary that comes with it.

With John Harbaugh and Matt Nagy now in place at MetLife Stadium, Jaxson Dart enters 2026 as one of the most interesting second-year quarterbacks in the NFL. Pro Football Focus (PFF) recently listed the Giants as “potential contenders” for the 2026 season, pointing to the high-profile hire of Harbaugh and a young defensive front as reasons for a fast turnaround.
Dart told reporters he “can’t wait” to get started under Nagy’s system. While the Giants’ rebuild finally has some momentum, the social media debate over his girlfriend’s makeup routine remains a side note to the team’s on-field progress.
