Kara wore a red top standing next to his father Brandon in a Giants T-shirt, who also played college football at Utah, giving their son words of encouragement pregame. Both parents have found the fountain of youth and certainly don't look like they could already have a son in the NFL.

Dart is one of four children, along with brother Diesel, and two daughters that stay out of the public eye. He has certainly gotten the athleticism from both of his parents, and it has been his dual-threat abilities that have made him a must-watch in his first season for the Giants.
