New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart is still getting accustomed to life in the NFL, but his mother, Kara Dart, has already captured the attention of fans.
During the Giants’ 26–14 defeat to the Saints, CBS cameras caught glimpses of the stands, and fans couldn’t help but discuss the quarterback’s family, especially his mother.

Dressed in a fashionable yet casual outfit and wearing a bright smile, Kara was seen celebrating her son’s early touchdowns alongside her husband Brandon and other Giants supporters. Social media quickly reacted, with one viewer perhaps overemphasizing the moment:
“They’ve shown Jaxson Dart’s mom 500 times this game,”
“Look at Jaxson Dart’s mom – she’s got some guns and couldn’t look prouder.”
Outside of the field, Kara works as a fitness instructor and used to be employed at Nordstrom; she also has a background in track and volleyball. Her Instagram handle, @runningwithkara, showcases her passion for running and a healthy lifestyle. Jaxson shared with GQ that his mother has been influential in developing his fashion sense – “She provides me with options but allows me to choose what feels right to me.”
It’s clear that athleticism is a family trait. Brandon played safety at the University of Utah before starting Dartco Masonry. Jaxson’s younger brother, Diesel, is already a three-star football recruit with offers from SEC schools, while his two sisters prefer to maintain a low profile.
