Las Vegas, NV — April 23, 2025
In a development shaking up NFL draft buzz, standout quarterback Jaxson Dart has publicly expressed his desire to suit up for the Las Vegas Raiders, citing admiration for head coach Pete Carroll as a major influence. The comments, made during a recent interview, have reportedly caught the attention of the Raiders’ front office—who are now seriously eyeing Dart as a potential draft target.
“I’ve always respected Coach Carroll’s leadership style,” Dart said. “He builds winners, not just teams. If there’s one place I’d love to start my NFL career, it’s Las Vegas—playing for a coach like that and a team with that kind of energy.”
Dart, a high-profile quarterback prospect with a strong arm and high football IQ, has seen his draft stock steadily climb following impressive workouts and interviews. His bold statement about the Raiders has now sparked major speculation about where he could land come draft night.
Sources close to the organization say the Raiders are evaluating quarterback options closely, and Dart is “absolutely on the radar.”
Coach Pete Carroll, entering a new era with the Silver and Black, has made no secret about wanting a young, dynamic signal-caller to develop and lead the franchise into the future. Dart’s style of play—and now, his vocal interest—could make for a perfect match.
With the NFL Draft approaching, all eyes will be on Las Vegas and whether they’ll make a bold move to land the quarterback who’s already dreaming of the Silver and Black.
