Enda McGinley thinks Tyrone could be dark horses for the Sam Maguire.

The Red Hands have struggled for form since going all the way in 2021, but after beating Armagh last time out, McGinley feels they are primed for another All-Ireland challenge.

"They can still take out a big gun if they finish third [in Group 2]," the three-time Tyrone All-Ireland SFC winner told the RTÉ GAA Podcast ahead of this Sunday’s Round 3 clash with Westmeath.

"Tyrone always have that factor within them. Do I think they would be genuine All-Ireland contenders? No, but it is possible.

"I would have said the same thing mid-season in 2021 when they went on and won it. Momentum is key. For some teams a hit below the water line will really, really hamper them.

"For the likes of Mayo, a loss would really stir up the skeletons that are in the closets there. For Tyrone, that doesn't matter just as much.

"I think they could still do damage."
