Giants QB Jaxson Dart took sparkling heart necklace from his sister's room

Jaxson Dart absolutely sparkled in his debut for the New York Giants.

And he can thank his sister's jewelry collection for that.

The first-round quarterback showed up for his news conference after his first practice of rookie minicamp Friday wearing a dazzling necklace that featured shiny, diamondlike-filled hearts. And the bling caught everyone's attention, especially when the lights from the team's indoor facility shined off it.

"So, my little sister had it, it was hers," a smiling Dart said. "It was before our bowl game and as I was leaving the house over Christmas — a little break before the bowl game — and just saw it in her room. And I was like, you know what, I kind of like it.

"So, I put it on and it’s kind of been good luck for me ever since."

At the Gator Bowl in January, Dart was selected the MVP after leading Mississippi to a 52-20 thrashing of Duke while wearing the necklace. He threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns, further cementing himself as one of the draft's top available quarterbacks.

The Giants were so enthralled with Dart's talent that they traded back into the first round last month to take him with the 25th overall pick. The 21-year-old quarterback appeared to be wearing the necklace that day — and again when he was formally introduced by the team.

"She likes it, she likes it," a grinning Dart said when asked what his sister thinks of him wearing her jewelry. "Now my little brother ordered one, too, so."

It wasn't immediately known if the necklace actually contains diamonds or what material it was made of, but this one is staying around Dart's neck for now. Oh, and his sister eventually got a replacement for her jewelry box.

"Yeah, we got her another one, too," the quarterback said.
