The New York Giants chosen the dynamic huge receiver-turned-running again Tyrone Tracy Jr. within the fifth spherical of the 2024 NFL draft.
Tracy joins a gaggle headed by veteran Devin Singletary that may try to exchange the manufacturing supplied by Saquon Barkley, who departed in free company to hitch the Philadelphia Eagles.
It’s anticipated that the Giants will go along with a committee strategy at working again to perform that feat, that means Tracy will probably see some offensive snaps as a rookie. He may additionally play a really vital position on particular groups.

4. Tyrone Tracy, Giants
In 2021, Tracy was a middling wideout at Iowa. Now he’s an thrilling Day 3 choice on the working again spot on a Giants crew that has Devin Singletary because it’s lead runner coming into the 2024 marketing campaign. Don’t get me mistaken with that sentence — I like Singletary. He was my RB1 within the 2019 class and has quietly averaged 4.6 yards per carry in his NFL profession so far with at the very least 150 rushes in all of his first 5 skilled seasons.
However I perceive he’s not a real characteristic again at this stage of his profession, though he’s recent off a 216 carry season in Houston in 2023. Tracy has the dynamic linear athleticism Singletary doesn’t, as evidenced by his 4.48 velocity and 40-inch vertical on the mix in March. Actually, Tracy’s dynamic bodily expertise and Singletary’s lateral brilliance will make for a enjoyable running-back tandem within the GMen’s backfield *if* the Giants can really block for his or her floor recreation.
How, precisely, the Giants plan to make the most of Tracy stays to be seen however he can fill a number of roles and that versatility will probably result in head coach Brian Daboll & Co. getting inventive.
Bucky Irving (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Kimani Vidal (Los Angeles Chargers), and Trey Benson (Arizona Cardinals) have been these ranked increased than Tracy.
