There is no doubt that while the New York Giants may not be favorites, they will certainly be one of the teams under the spotlight for the 2026 season, especially after the excitement surrounding Jaxson Dart’s rookie campaign. In 12 starts, he recorded 24 total touchdowns and completely changed the energy of an offense that had been lifeless.

Moreover, thanks to having a major talent like Jaxson Dart, the Giants were able to sign the best head coach available and quickly hired John Harbaugh, who was dismissed after 18 successful years with the Baltimore Ravens. While he won only one Super Bowl there, he consistently kept the team competitive.
Now John Harbaugh has a major objective. Despite the Giants’ terrible recent seasons, this remains a historic franchise that has won four Super Bowl titles. Since lifting their last Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2012, they have only made the playoffs a couple of times, so the challenge ahead for Harbaugh is significant.

All eyes are on Jaxson Dart – and there is no debate, he is the quarterback of the New York Giants. However, another rookie was thriving until Week 8, when he suffered a serious injury: running back Cam Skattebo, who posted 410 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, and two receiving touchdowns.
This weekend, Skattebo turned 24 years old, and Jaxson Dart’s girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, posted videos showing both the running back and the Giants quarterback having a great time at Skattebo’s birthday celebration.
Cam Skattebo suffered a serious right ankle injury during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles and missed the remainder of the season. He is currently in the rehabilitation process and is reportedly expected to be ready for OTAs, which is undoubtedly great news for John Harbaugh’s project.
It’s clear that the Giants’ project looks promising – not only because of Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, but also with Malik Nabers and possibly Wan’Dale Robinson if they manage to retain him in free agency. The defense is also loaded with talent, led by Brian Burns, and with this roster, New York will compete in the NFC East.
