Did New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely really troll J.J. McCarthy over the No. 9 jersey?
No, he did not. Football Crave's viral post about Likely saying that "JJ's rookie contract" would keep him from getting the No. 9 as his new Giants jersey is false. This is not real; please do not fall for this.
Likely has not said anything like this about McCarthy getting the No. 9 jersey. This is a fake quote meant to trick people. Again, this is not real. Football Crave is notorious for these types for viral fake posts.
We're sorry if you fell for this, but it is not real. Likely did not say this.
