Dart was selected by New York with the 25th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was the team's second pick in the first round after they had selected edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick. Dart was the second quarterback selected in the draft after the Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick.

Good teams usually have better depth throughout their roster, giving them an advantage when it becomes backups vs. backups.
