Jaxson Dart builds early connection with Isaiah Likely for Giants

During training camp this June, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is reportedly developing a strong bond with tight end Isaiah Likely, who joined the team this offseason. Likely is seen as Dart's favorite target early in practices. The Giants signed Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract, signaling their expectation for him to play a key role in the offense. Tight ends often serve as reliable options for young quarterbacks, helping to ease pressure with shorter throws. While it's a promising start for Dart's development, the real test will come once the regular season begins. The Giants also expect Malik Nabers to maintain a significant presence in the offense alongside Likely.
