Eli Manning’s Son Shocks with Jaxson Dart Halloween Costume

This Halloween, Eli Manning, the former New York Giants quarterback, experienced a bittersweet moment related to his son’s football fandom. While the 7-year-old Charlie donned a Giants jersey to celebrate the holiday, it wasn’t his father’s legendary No. 10 that he chose; instead, it was the jersey of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
