Likely as Giants' biggest FA investment; slot role should increase volume.
Isaiah LikelyTENYG
Likely joined the Giants as their biggest free-agent investment and is expected to be a featured piece of the offense. The Giants essentially swapped Likely in for Wan'Dale Robinson, signaling a shift in their offensive approach. Likely never hit his potential in Baltimore and never moved ahead of Mark Andrews on the depth chart, recording just 27 receptions for 307 yards over 14 games last season. Now in New York, coaches feel Likely can become a weapon as OC Matt Nagy's 'U,' or receiving tight end, setting up shop in the slot and creating logistical mismatches for opposing defenses. The argument centers on volume, and Likely should see more of that in New York than he did in Baltimore.
