Story summary

Matt Nagy, former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and now with the New York Giants, sees parallels between the current Chiefs' quarterback-tight end duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and what he's witnessing with the Giants' new combination. In 2017, when Nagy was with the Chiefs, Mahomes was a rookie and Kelce was emerging as an elite tight end; their chemistry has since developed into something historic, likely securing both players spots in the Hall of Fame. Nagy left to coach the Chicago Bears from 2019 to 2022 but returned to the Chiefs until this year. Now with the Giants, he oversees Isaiah Likely, a rising tight end who is becoming a focal point of the offense, much like Kelce once was under his guidance.
