Could Take a Massive Leap': NFL Insider Believes New York Giants Could Take Massive Step Forward This Season - [your]NEWS

The New York Giants finished 2025 with a 4-13 record, but ESPN’s Bill Barnwell believes they could improve in 2026 under new head coach John Harbaugh. The upside is tied to offense, built around quarterback Jaxson Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers, running back Cam Skattebo and left tackle Andrew Thomas. Barnwell noted that the group’s combined presence could lift a unit that finished 22nd in scoring in 2025 after ranking 30th or worse four times in six years. The main risk is health: last season the key players were on the field for just 60 snaps. Skattebo, Nabers and Thomas spent time on injured reserve, while Dart missed games due to a concussion and was repeatedly pulled over health concerns. Barnwell added that depth may be limited after New York lost several free agents linked to ex-coach Brian Daboll’s move to Tennessee.
