Giants QB Jaxson Dart draws penalty lesson after heated training camp exchange originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart showed the passion that has made him one of the team's most intriguing young players, but his emotions got the better of him during Tuesday's training camp practice.
Following a touchdown run in a red-zone drill, Dart celebrated by throwing the football at the helmet of cornerback Greg Newsome. The ball struck Newsome before bouncing away, immediately drawing the attention of several defensive players, who surrounded the rookie quarterback as tensions briefly flared.
While no punches were thrown, the exchange was enough for head coach Jim Harbaugh to step in with an immediate teaching moment.
Rather than simply moving on to the next play, Harbaugh treated Dart's celebration as if it had occurred during a regular-season game. He **** sed the offense a simulated 15-yard taunting penalty, forcing kicker Ben Sauls to attempt a much more difficult 48-yard extra point instead of a routine kick.
