ISAIAH-LIKELY-SIGNING

The New York Giants have officially signed tight end Isaiah Likely.

Likely, 6-4 and 245 pounds, has 135 receptions for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns in 63 career regular-season games (26 starts). He has also appeared in five postseason games, where he has two touchdown catches. He was a fourth-round pick in the Ravens' 2022 draft class with John Harbaugh as head coach.

Likely appeared in 14 games (six starts) for Baltimore in 2025, totaling 27 catches for 307 yards and a touchdown. He blocked for an offense that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in yards per rush (5.3), No. 2 in rushing yards per game (156.6), and No. 3 in rushing touchdowns (23). The Ravens also ranked No. 7 in yards per play (5.8) and No. 11 in points per game (24.9).

Now he will be playing in an offense led by Jaxson Dart.

"Man, Jaxson [is] a great quarterback, a great young quarterback," Likely said. "Obviously shows a lot of charisma when he's out there. Excited to get out there and play with him. When you watch him, you see the type of drive he has to win any game by any means necessary. You love that when you have a quarterback like that that's ready to do whatever it takes to win the game."

In 2024, he caught a career-high six touchdowns and became the second-fastest Ravens tight end (34 games) to reach double-digit receiving scores in a career, behind only Mark Andrews (28 games).

He was part of a tight end room that produced a league-high 18 combined receiving touchdowns and contributed to an offense that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in yards per game (424.9), yards per play (6.8 – third-best single-season mark in NFL history), yards per rush (5.7 – best mark in single-season NFL history), and red zone efficiency (74.2%). Baltimore was also No. 3 in points per game (30.5), while setting a franchise single-season record with 7,224 net yards.

In 2022, the Coastal Carolina product became the first rookie tight end in Ravens history to post a touchdown grab in back-to-back games.
