Giants' Jaxson Dart has no interest in changing playing style despite huge hit: 'Not playing soccer out here'

In wake of his old New York Giants team firing Brian Daboll, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones tells Fox News Digital rookie Jaxson Dart will "figure it out" as he will navigate the NFL with another head coach.

Despite being launched into his own bench against the New England Patriots on Monday night, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart made clear he has no interest in changing his playing style.

The question was brought up to Dart again after he took a huge hit from Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss in the first quarter, which sparked a skirmish among players. The hit raised eyebrows among fans as Dart missed the last two games with a concussion and had been in the blue medical tent during games before to get checked for injuries.

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden even implored him on social media to get out of bounds on those kinds of plays.

Still, Dart was defiant.

"I understand the question, but this is football. I'm going to get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket," Dart said. "I've played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn't be any shocker to anybody if you've followed along with my career. We're not playing soccer out here. You're going to get hit, things happen. It's just part of the game."
