​The New York Giants hired John Harbaugh as their new head coach this past January, and that means they will be getting back to basics.Big Blue will seek advantages in the trenches on both sides of the ball, focusing on establishing the run on offense and shutting it down on defense.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHarbaugh, who was a huge proponent of running the football during his 18 seasons as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, will look to do that here in New York. Last season, the Ravens ran the football on 52 percent of their offensive snaps, the only NFL team to run more than they passed.The Giants ran the ball on 47.1 percent of their offensive plays in 2025, seventh-highest in the NFL. They also ran it 511 times, second most in the league behind Buffalo (547). They ranked in the top five in the NFL in rushing touchdowns, rushing yards, rushing first downs, and runs of 10 yards or more. The Giants rushed for over 100 yards in nine consecutive games, the longest streak in the NFL last year.Quarterback Jaxson Dart will do his share of rushing this season, and that will spike this season, but they have a group of very talented and diverse running backs that will get plenty of opportunities to shine.Here’s a quick preview of the Giants’ running backs room heading into training camp this summer.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNagy is a very adaptable coach, forging game plans based on the strengths of the team’s personnel. He had Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, a player who relied on improvisation for success, much like Dart does. The Chiefs were 25th in run/pass ratio at 24.3 percent last year with Nagy as the offensive coordinator. With Harbaugh in charge here in New York, he’ll be taking the air out of the ball a bit more.Roman’s official title is Senior Offensive Assistant. Still, he’s been a Harbaugh guy for most of his career, working under both John and his brother, Jim, several times each in his three-decade coaching career. Roman has served as offensive coordinator for four NFL teams: San Francisco, Buffalo, Baltimore, and, most recently, the Los Angeles Chargers. Brian Callahan will run the passing game, and it looks as if Roman will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the other areas.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe big question regarding the second-year star is whether he’ll be 100 percent healthy for the regular season after rehabbing from the serious ankle injury he suffered in Week 8 last season. He was at minicamp, going through drills and appeared as if he was well on his way back, but he’ll be required to do much more in training camp.Skattebo wrested the lead back role with his energetic and inspired play as a rookie in 2025, rushing 101 times for 410 yards (a 4.1 average) and five touchdowns, and added 24 receptions for 207 yards (an 8.6 average) and two more touchdowns. Skattebo finished second on the team in scoring with 44 points in just eight games played. Skattebo ranked fourth in the NFL
