New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has won 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 Monday on ESPN’s “ManningCast” that Charlie is dressing up as Dart for Halloween. Manning said Charlie wanted to wear Dart’s iconic chain to school every day.
“(Charlie) has the chain, which is good. 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 on the show.

Peyton Manning teased his brother and asked if it hurt that Charlie chose another Giants quarterback over him, and Eli replied, “It hurts a little.”
Even though Charlie’s Halloween costume might hurt the Giants legend, Dart loves it.

“I think it’s great, I’ve met Charlie a few times. Obviously I’ve been around Eli a lot, and yeah, I think maybe, like he said, he’s a little disappointed that it’s not him. But it’s just a cool 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) of any rookie quarterback.

The last Giants player to be named Offensive Rookie of the Month was wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014, as he won it in November and December. The former LSU star went on to be voted Offensive Rookie of the Year at the end of the season.
The Giants are 2-3 in Dart’s starts and 2-6 overall this season. They will look to secure a victory when they take on the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) at home on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
