Explosive... boom (or bust lol).  Bob

New kickoff rule has everything to do here with Tracy. He seems like an out-of-the box kc guy. I assume some teams will simply blast the ball anyway to the 35, if they can.

But unpredictable I welcome with staid offense.

Good pick to backup Singletary and can learn behind him. He can return kicks, catch out of the backfield or out of the slot.

Love the emotion and passion of these kids.

Makes me emotional to watch things like this...I couldn't be happier for the kid. He got his chance of a lifetime, and it's setting in

Q. Where does Tyrone Tracy in that kind of mold? He's going to be 25.

BRIAN DABOLL: Some of these guys are older, too, relative to what people have been through the past few years, I would say, COVID and all those other things. Some guys are a little bit older. He's a former receiver. In terms of yards per carry, he's been pretty good. He's an athlete who has played receiver and then played running back and has some good production. We'll throw him in the mix. Whether that's in the kickoff return game or whether that's at running back or the receiving part of it, we've got to do a good job of getting him in here and seeing where he's at and then trying to fit him into the things that he can do well.

I'm actually mildly warming up to this pick a little. I'm not going to make any predictions on this guy, but I kind of like the unconventional storyline and am wondering if that scared teams off and possibly led to him being a bit undervalued. The inexperience at RB coupled with him being 24 is not a very palatable headline. This guy does seem to be legitimately talented though, which is the most important thing by far. I don't see him being a star or anything, but as a best case scenario maybe he could end up being one of these jack-of-all trades/master-of-none types like a Cordarelle Patterson. Guys like that can play until they're older than most conventional, between-the-tackles, 250 carries type backs. It might have been a pretty nice pick for where we got him. Let's see.

I think the starting RB position is wide open. Gray is probably pushing Singletary for the starting spot. Singletary, like Hodgins and Isiah McKenzie, are here because Daboll knows what these former Buffalo players can do. He is a placeholder who got a ton of work in Houston last season after Pierce was ineffective. The Giants have already cut Corbin twice, Miller is a project, Deon Jackson is a good receiver who showed he can start in a pinch, and I'm not sure why Brightwell is still here. I think there is space for Tracy to get some touches in the backfield as he develops. He can help on Special teams but I don't believe that is why he was drafted.

I think Tracy immediately makes Brightwell expendable.

Could be an interesting competition between Tracy and the kid Milller for the ST slot. If nothing else we're assured of more speed in camp
