The New York Giants' 2026 offseason is a whirlwind of change, featuring a new coaching staff, roster turnover, and even a trade request from star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. With the NFL Draft just over a week away, the front office is deep in preparation. Meanwhile, the players are already hard at work, and one of the team's key new additions is making a notable investment in his game.

Newly-signed tight end Isaiah Likely, who inked a significant three-year, $40 million deal, is refining his skills this spring with renowned coach David Robinson at D-Rob Sports and Fitness Training. This dedicated offseason work is a clear signal of Likely's intent to make an immediate impact in New York.

After spending his first four seasons catching passes from Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, Likely is reuniting with a familiar face: Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who was his offensive coordinator early in his Ravens tenure. "Isaiah is excited to play for his former head coach and be the new leader in the tight end room," coach David Robinson told MLFootball.

This leadership role will be crucial for a young Giants tight end corps featuring 2024 draft pick Theo Johnson and 2025 selection Thomas Fidone. Likely's experience in a dynamic, mobile-quarterback offense with the Ravens should translate perfectly to playing with the Giants' young, athletic QB Jaxson Dart. Following a 2025 season he'll look to improve upon, this focused training suggests Likely is poised to become a reliable security blanket and a veteran guide for New York's promising offensive weapons.
