The New York Giants are on an uptick these days after an offseason of changes, which many experts see as for the better.
John Harbaugh, who compiled a 193-124 record (.609) over 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and won a Super Bowl, is the new head coach. With Harbaugh comes all the trimmings: His mantra, his cronies, his coaches, and some of his players.
People are taking notice. Chase Daniel, a former NFL quarterback who has a Super Bowl ring and is now a studio analyst for ESPN, is a big believer in the Giants’ future under Harbaugh and second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.
There’s a lot to get excited about if you’re a Giants fan. Harbaugh has changed the culture and the complexion of the franchise in the six months he’s been here. A new outlook has been established, and this franchise is ready to put its losing ways behind it.
Daniel points out that the Giants will enter the season with an offense specifically designed for Dart under new coordinator Matt Nagy and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan. That wasn’t the case last year when the team began the season with veteran Russell Wilson under center.
Another point was the addition of former Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely, who was signed as a free agent this past March. Daniel sees the Giants using Likely very much the way Nagy used Travis Kelce in Kansas City while he was the coordinator with the Chiefs.
Then there are the players who were lost to injury last season, such as wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo, who are returning this year. Dart will finally enjoy a full complement of weapons.
