Is Giants' Jaxson Dart ready to take the next step? 2025 NFL Draft QB film study | The AthleticNew York Giants. Harbaugh's offseason jump from Baltimore to New York makes the Ravens more intriguing while simultaneously giving the Giants the final flourish on their claim as the league's most compelling team in 2026. The Super Bowl-winning head coach takes over a Giants squad led by standout sophomore Jaxson Dart, who produced 24 combined passing and rushing touchdowns to just five interceptions as a first-round rookie in 2025 and is already the face of the franchise.
Second-year back Cam Skattebo has already become a cult hero, while pass-catchers Isaiah Likely (who followed Harbaugh from Baltimore) and Malik Nabers (returning from a torn ACL) should help solidify one of the best young offensive cores in the game. Add in a defense built around top-five picks from each of the last two drafts in support of reigning NFC sack leader Brian Burns, and the Giants have the pieces to shock the league if everything coalesces in 2026.
2026 NFL offseason: Don't overreact to these five storylines | NFL.comThere's an awful lot of hype around Dart right now. Although at least part of that comes from a starved Giants fan base, a big part of me wants to buy in on all of it. Dart is a unique player who presents unique challenges - not just for opposing defenses, but for his own team. Dart's playing style and skill set can make him a danger to himself if he's not reeled in.
The best news, though, is that John Harbaugh is now Dart's head coach. Kafka did a great job creating an offense around Dart last year, but Harbaugh's staff will be better equipped to help him as a dual-threat player. Health permitting, I expect a sizable jump from Dart, who has the ability to finally give the Giants the franchise QB for whom they've been searching.
3 Giants Veterans Whose Roster Spots Could Be in Jeopardy -and Their Biggest Threats | SI.comGiants signOdell Beckham Jr., other receivers amidMalik Nabersinjury questions.When head coach John Harbaugh said that Nabers' recovery from multiple knee surgeries was not simple," it raised some questions about the receiver's timetable and future forecast. In a league where it feels like 90 percent of rehabbing players seem to be ahead of schedule," this injury update felt like a bad omen.
And I get that. I also get the feeling that the Giants' signings of Beckham,JuJu Smith-SchusterandBraxton Berrioswere insurance moves guarding against potentially not having Nabers to start the season. That came after the Giants had already added veteransDarnell MooneyandCalvin Austin IIIand draftedMalachi Fields. Look, I can't assure you Nabers is going to be fine. New York's certainly a better team with a healthy Nabers, no doubt. But I think the G-Men can at least survive if he's not 100 percent to start the season, even if general manager Joe Schoen still believes Naberswill be available for Week 1.
Ex-Giants WR Plaxico Burress auctioning off his Super Bowl XLII TD ball | USAToday.comLB Darius Muasau; Biggest Threat: LB Jack Kelly. Through two seasons, Muasau, against the run, has a 15.3% tackle rate, which, when compared to Okereke's 18% figure, ranked second among the team's linebackers based on PFF data. With the arrivals of Tremaine Edmunds and Arvell Reese, any realistic chance of Muasau landing a starting job has probably evaporated. That leaves him to compete for a depth role where his primary competition will be rookie Jack Kelly, a sixth-round pick out of BYU, who, like Muasau, is an inside linebacker that can provide help on special teams.
Kelly appears to bringa little more to the table. For one, he offers a bit more as a situational pass rusher. Per PFF, Kelly posted thefifth-most quarterback pressures(36) in the 2026 draft-eligible linebacker class. The former BYU standout ended his final year of college play with thebest pass-rush win rate (19.8)among 26 qualifying linebackers with a minimum of 90 pass-rushing attempts. Muasau has value to a team, but again, his lower ceiling as a pass rusher could swing the pendulum in Kelly's favor.
