Giants' John Harbaugh on Isaiah Likely: 'That's what we pay him for'
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely had a dominant performance in Week 1, and John Harbaugh says that's why they pay him the big bucks.
When the New York Giants signed backup tight end Isiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract in March, many wondered why they acted so quickly. However, on Sunday night, during the Giants' 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, it became clear why the team had such confidence in Likely. After the game, head coach John Harbaugh expressed his belief in Likely's impact, stating, "That's what we paid him for and he did it."
Despite a few setbacks, Likely demonstrated his value by catching eight passes for 78 yards and scoring two touchdowns, setting franchise records for a debut. Harbaugh's trust in Likely was evident, as he said, "You can trust me."
