Tyrone Tracy Jr. was being heralded as a late-round steal as early as the day after the was drafted. The Purdue star, who began his college career as a wide receiver at Iowa, displayed exceptional versatility, explosion, and production as a rookie and his emergence has helped the Giants rebuild their offensive backfield in the aftermath of Saquon Barkley’s departure.
Tracy rushed for 839 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games, team highs in both categories. He also added 284 yards and another score on 38 receptions and ran back three kickoffs for a total of 61 yards.
Tracy’s 1,123 scrimmage yards place him second among Giants rookie running backs, behind Barkley’s 2,028 yards in 2018. Tracy and Nabers become the first rookie duo to both eclipse 1,000 yards from scrimmage since 2006.
