Harbaugh Hypes Likely for Giants

0:00On April 6th, Giants head coach John Harbaugh is pumped about tight in Isaiah likely joining the team. He coached likely back in Baltimore, where they drafted the Athletic 6-foot-4 guy in the fourth round of the 2022 draft. Now in New York, Harbaugh sees him as a key piece to boost second-year quarterback Jackson Dart. Harbaugh went out of his way to hype likely at the league meetings last week. He called him a playmaker, with a huge catch radius who excels after the catch, whether juking defenders or powering through them. Plus, he's solid blocking on the edge, which should fire up the run game. Fans and analysts are buzzing because likely stats look average so far, never topping 477 yards in a season. But last year, he hit a career high with six touchdowns and played 60% of snaps, showing he's ready for more. The big question is, how this shakes up third-year tight-entheo Johnson, who started 26 games but struggles with drops, 12 over 2, seasons per pro data.

1:01Still, Harbaugh envisions heavy, two tight-end sets like Baltimore ran, keeping both guys involved. With likely and Johnson teaming up, the Giants' offense could get dynamic fast, blending past threats and run support to lift Dart in the whole squad.
