The New York Giants are gearing up for a fresh start after a challenging 2025 NFL season. With Brian Daboll's departure and Mike Kafka stepping in as interim head coach, the Giants have now turned the page with the hiring of John Harbaugh. This move signals a new era for the NFC East team.
Jaxson Dart is set to enter his second season, and he’ll have a bolstered arsenal at his disposal. Malik Nabers returns from a season-ending injury, joining new additions like wide receivers Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III, as well as tight end Isaiah Likely.
This revamped receiving corps is looking formidable, but the Giants aren't neglecting their ground game either. Cam Skattebo is making his comeback from injury, with Tyrone Tracy Jr. still in the mix.
Despite having these promising young running backs, there’s talk of adding more depth to the backfield.
On Wednesday, Vinnie Iyer from Sporting News weighed in on the potential landing spots for remaining free agents, predicting that the Giants might secure former Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris. Harris showed glimpses of potential in the Greg Roman offense before an injury cut his season short during his time with the Chargers. With Roman now part of the Giants' coaching staff, Harris could provide the power running option needed alongside Skattebo.
Harris' 2025 season was brief, playing only three games under John Harbaugh’s brother, Jim, and carrying the ball 15 times for 61 yards. As the Giants continue to retool, adding a player like Harris could offer the depth and versatility they need to make a significant impact this upcoming season.
