If there’s a silver lining on this in any other case disappointing season for the New York Giants it’s their current draft class.
Basic supervisor Joe Schoen has taken plenty of warmth for the way through which he’s dealt with personnel in his three seasons right here however one has to offer him a pat on the again for his current efficiency on the draft desk.
The Giants added a high extensive receiver in Malik Nabers, gifted and productive defensive backs in Tyler Nubin and Andru Phillips, a possible star at tight finish in Theo Johnson, and a future particular groups chief in linebacker Darius Muasau.
However the prize of this draft could be their fifth-round operating again Tyrone Tracy Jr., who was just lately cited by ESPN’s Jordan Reid as a late-rounder who has overperformed this season.
It’s uncommon to see fifth-round rookies step right into a pivotal function, however Tracy has performed simply that with 545 dashing yards and three touchdowns this season. A former receiver turned operating again at Iowa and Purdue, Tracy’s versatility has shone by means of as a runner and move catcher.
He was slated as a backup to Devin Singletary, however his function has continued to extend after breaking out with 129 dashing yards in Week 6. Tracy, who went No. 166 within the draft, is likely one of the few vibrant spots on the New York offense.
Tracy hasn’t taken the total sting out of the lack of Saquon Barkley to the rival Philadelphia Eagles this previous offseason however he’s definitely helped.
His fumble that price the Giants dearly of their current loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany introduced out the kind of particular person he’s. Tracy owned as much as the error and is shifting on.
The Giants hope Tracy continues to progress into the participant they want him to be.
