What happened

The New York Giants trended in the right direction in 2025.

Why it matters

Although they finished the year 4-13, the club’s youth movement solidified as Jaxson Dart took the reins at quarterback while rookie running back Cam Skattebo and star wideout Malik Nabers showed flashes of brilliance before going down with injuries.

Common ground

Coming into 2026, this hearty nucleus is all projected to be healthy and coached by legendary field general John Harbaugh, whom Big Blue signed in January.
