The NFL offseason is heating up, and it's not just because of training camps. Marissa Ayers, the girlfriend of New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, has set social media ablaze with a series of eye-catching swimsuit photos, one of which features a bold blue number that has fans doing double takes.
In late May, Ayers made waves during Miami Swim Week, but it was her latest Instagram drop that truly stole the spotlight. The post, which showcases her in a stunning blue swimsuit, quickly went viral, racking up comments like, “How are you real,” and “How do you just get more gorgeous every time.” Another follower simply declared, “These photos are perfect.” It's the kind of buzz that reminds us of other sports figures who've captivated fans with similar posts, such as Julianne Hough's recent swimsuit moment.
Ayers, who first rose to prominence as a ring girl for the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight, has become a familiar face in the sports world since she and Dart went public in October 2025. They confirmed their relationship by attending a Monday Night Football game between the Giants and Patriots, and since then, the pair have been inseparable, showing up together at events like the NFL Honors and the 2026 World Cup.
Dart, for his part, can't stop singing her praises. “She’s been amazing. I mean, I can’t say good enough things about her,” he told PEOPLE. “Things have come around so fast between us. It’s really cool when you have two people who are independent what they do, but at the same time… are each other’s biggest cheerleaders.” That mutual support is a key part of their dynamic as Dart prepares for his second NFL season.
The Giants are entering 2026 with plenty of optimism surrounding their young quarterback. As a rookie, Dart put up impressive numbers: 2,272 passing yards, 487 rushing yards, and 24 total touchdowns. But despite that production, he only received one first-place vote for Offensive Rookie of the Year, a snub that clearly stings.
“I guess more people have conversations and things to say about me sliding that has nothing to do with my play on the field,” Dart told the New York Post. “Turn off the pictures of the players and just look at the numbers, I feel like they speak for themselves, I don’t need to argue that. I have respect for the other guys that were part of it. … It’s a chip on my shoulder for sure.”
That chip could fuel a breakout sophomore campaign. The Giants kick off their 2026 season on September 13 against the Dallas Cowboys, and with a quarterback who's hungry to prove himself and a partner who's becoming a social media star in her own right, all eyes will be on this New York power couple.
While Ayers' next move is unclear, her viral moment is a reminder that the NFL offseason is never short on drama—whether it's on the field or on Instagram.
