Positive signalRole

Likely's 8 catches on 8 targets with 2 TDs shows he's Dart's go-to in critical situations.

Isaiah Likely caught 8 passes on 8 targets for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 1, with his contribution even more impressive than the numbers suggest. The source notes that all summer, quarterback Jaxson Dart leaned on Likely in critical situations, and that carried through on Sunday. Likely caught 4 passes for first downs and was the first option in the red zone, catching 2 short TD passes, including crucial third-down conversions (third-and-9 and third-and-3) late in the game to help close out the victory.
