Giants Draft Purdue Running Back Tyrone Tracy in Fifth Round

The New York Giants select Tyrone Tracy, a versatile player from Purdue, as they aim to rebuild their running back lineup.

Tyrone Tracy, previously a wide receiver at Iowa, was drafted by the Giants from Purdue as a running back.
Despite being new to the running back position, Tracy showed potential with 716 rushing yards and eight touchdowns last season.
The Giants have not positioned Tracy as a direct replacement for Saquon Barkley, who recently joined the Eagles.
Tracy's age, 24, and his minimal wear from college due to his late switch to running back, present a unique advantage.
His ability in special teams and as a receiver could see him getting early playing time.
