New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely is expected to enhance the team's offensive capabilities in the upcoming season. Despite the loss of receiver Wan’Dale Robinson in free agency, the Giants have added talent, including Darnell Mooney and Malachi Fields. Likely, who had success with the Baltimore Ravens, caught 75% of his targets last year. His speed and route-running are anticipated to make him a key target for quarterback Jaxson Dart in critical situations and in the red zone. As the season approaches, Likely's integration into the offense could lead to an expanded role.
