 favorite joins the Giants, Purdue RB Tyrone Tracey Jr.

An older prospect (24), a former WR at Iowa who showed impressive RB skills for a player who only played ONE season at the position

He will likely be the kickoff returner for the #Giants with these new rules. Another EXPLOSIVE weapon for Brian Daboll.

Why?

[DaveBrown74]

Wasn't really on my personal radar as far as RBs go. Don't love the age either. But will keep an open mind.

24 yrs old and can't pass protect?

He can catch, I hope he's explosive.

Converted WR. Low miles on legs as RB. Very shifty and will be a great ST player. I like his RAS score. He's an offensive weapon. Not a "Workhorse Back", but more like a poor man's McCaffrey. He's more dangerous taking slant passes or sweeps. Should be a good compliment to the RBs we already have. At least we know he can catch a ball and make something happen

[brownelvis54]

Why?

Because we have Devin Singletary, Dante Miller, Eric Gray, and Gary Brightwell. a DT like Mekhi Wingo is more needed. Like I said months ago, why not take a chance on Michael Pratt in the latter rounds. He could sit for one year, low risk, perhaps high reward.

New to position means there is still a lot he is learning on the fly.

Not surprising he would still have trouble with some of the nuance of playing RB. If you beleive some of the reports sounds like Upside, tools pick whose floor might be an explosive KO returner.

Not bad for pick 166....

Like Ivan Pace Jr. last year, Wingo might not even get drafted because he's considered too small for the defensive line. But like Pace last year (didn't get drafted because of his size, then became 1st team all rookie as LB)

Two stats that I LOVE for Tyron Tracy right off the bat:

Among Draft Eligible RB's with 60 carries:

1st (!!) in yards after contact per attempt
10th in breakaway rate
17th in missed tackles forced, one more than Trey Benson

Love the advanced numbers!
