Why does Jaxson Dart wear eye black?
Jaxson Dart only wears the eye black below his right eye, and it's because of Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars.
Dart has been doing this since his days at Ole Miss, which is explained in an article by Saturday Down South.
Dart noticed an LSU defensive back with eye black and decided to start doing it himself, with a twist.
By putting it only under his right eye, Dart felt he was paying tribute to Anakin Skywalker's scar on his right eye.
Now it's a part of his on-field identity.
Why does Jaxson Dart wear a chain?
Jaxson Dart's chain is a familial connection.
According to Fox Sports, Dart took the necklace from his younger sister's room before playing in the Gator Bowl for Ole Miss.
He went out and was MVP of the bowl game, and he's worn the necklace as a good-luck charm ever since.
"She likes it, she likes it," Dart said after the draft, explaining how his sister feels about it. "Now my little brother ordered one, too, so."
The Dart family also purchased his sister a replacement necklace, so all the siblings are outfitted for good fortune.
