UNDERRATED: Giants Land Najee Harris, Add POWER to Backfield and Address Running Game Concerns

The New York Giants shake up the backfield by signing Najee Harris, leaving Devin Singletary’s roster spot in jeopardy. Can Harris’ physical, downhill style help John Harbaugh build the dominant run game he craves, and is this the answer for a true ground-and-pound offense in 2026?

Patricia Traina spotlights Harris’ impressive resume—four straight 1,000-yard seasons, short-yardage dominance, and durability—while exploring the ripple effects on Cam Skattebo and the Giants’ power-oriented approach. The conversation shifts to Malik Nabers’ progress and the strategy for his critical next step. The conversation then shifts to what to watch when the Giants hold their joint practice with Miami.
