Marissa Ayers may have been one of the biggest winners of the NFL offseason.
The influencer, who began dating Jaxson Dart about a year ago, has seen her profile rise alongside the New York Giants quarterback. Ayers now has more than 497,000 Instagram followers, a number that reflects how quickly her visibility has grown as more fans have noticed her appearances with Dart.
A viral presence around the Giants
Earlier in the summer of 2026, Ayers went viral for showing up at New York Giants training camp. That attention helped turn her into one of the most talked-about WAGs in sports, especially as photos and posts connected her to Dart and the Giants.
Ayers has also tried to explain why she and other family members are around the team during camp. She said the setting is more personal than many fans realize, noting that training camp is a chance for families, girlfriends and wives to spend time together, meet, hang out and bond. She also said the players are not spending much time socializing, because practice lasts 2-3 hours and then they are back in meetings for the rest of the afternoon and night.
Another public moment with Dart
On Saturday, May 02, 2026, Jaxson Dart and Marissa Ayers appeared on the Kentucky Derby red carpet, another reminder that their relationship has continued to attract public attention beyond football. That visibility has come as Dart and the New York Giants head into a matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
For Ayers, the story is less about one moment than a steady rise in attention. The combination of a growing social media following, public appearances and Giants-related coverage has made her a notable name during the NFL offseason.
