Tyrone Tracy

USA Today’s Art Stapleton believes RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is “making a push to be the Giants’ back on passing downs.”

The fifth-round pick drew some praise from head coach Brian Daboll last week and has been getting plenty of reps with the first-team offense lately. He is competing with Eric Gray for the No. 2 job this summer. Though Devin Singletary is locked in as the team’s top running back, Tracy, a former wide receiver, could carve out a role as a pass-catching option out of the backfield early in his career. That would give him some stand-alone value while also positioning him as the clear beneficiary of any absence from Singletary. Tracy is shaping up to be one of the better late-round picks for early best ball drafters.
