The Year 1 spike due to a top-shelf coach is a proven formula that worked last season for New England\u2019s Mike Vrabel, Chicago\u2019s Ben Johnson and Jacksonville\u2019s Liam Coen.

Aaron Schatz, NFL analyst: The Giants will take a big leap, going from worst to first thanks to the coaching of John Harbaugh, the return of wide receiver Malik Nabers, and steps forward from quarterback Jaxson Dart and edge rusher Abdul Carter in Year 2. Like Jeremy alluded to above, it\u2019s not as big a leap as you might think, as their underlying play-by-play performance last season suggested a 7-10 team instead of a 4-13 unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeremy Fowler, national NFL reporter: The Giants will make the playoffs.
