New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been winning over fans since taking over as the team’s starting quarterback in late September, and one of those fans is franchise legend Eli Manning’s son, Charlie.
The two-time Super Bowl champion revealed on ESPN’s “ManningCast” Monday that Charlie is dressing up as Dart for Halloween. Manning said Charlie wants to wear Dart’s signature chain to school every day.
“(Charlie’s) got the chain, which is nice. The problem is he wants to wear it — we got it last week and he wants to wear it to school every day,” Manning said during the broadcast.

Peyton Manning teased his brother, asking him if it hurt that Charlie picked another Giants quarterback over himself, and Eli said, “It kind of hurts.”
While Charlie’s Halloween costume may hurt the Giants legend, Dart loves it.

“I think it’s great, I’ve met Charlie a couple of times. Obviously, I’ve been around Eli a lot, and yeah, I think maybe, like he said, he’s a little disappointed that it wasn’t him. But it’s just a great relationship and I think it’s great,” Dart told reporters Thursday.
The NFL named Dart the Offensive Rookie of the Month for October. Through four games, Dart had the most total touchdowns (10), rushing touchdowns (seven) and passer rating (90.0) among all rookie quarterbacks.

The last Giants player to be named Offensive Rookie of the Month was wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014 when he won it in both November and December. The former LSU star was named offensive rookie of the year at the end of the season.
The Giants are 2-3 in Darts starts and 2-6 overall this season. They will look for a win when they host the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) at home on Sunday at 7 p.m. 1 p.m. ET.
