Giants list Isaiah Likely as No. 10 most important player for 2026

The New York Giants included tight end Isaiah Likely as the 10th most important player for the upcoming season. Likely, 26, signed a three-year contract worth $40 million to take on a larger role as a primary target in the passing attack. His performance will be critical, especially with receiver Malik Nabers' availability uncertain. Giants coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in Likely’s potential impact, citing his ability to create mismatches and contribute to the run game. As the Giants prepare for training camp, Likely's integration into the offensive scheme will be closely monitored.
