After losing Saquon Barkley in free agency to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants signed veteran Devin Singletary to lead their running back committee. They have now added Tracy to that mix. Tracy is a converted wide receiver still learning the nuances of playing running back. Here are Tracy’s measurables: Tyrone Tracy Jr. was drafted in round 5 pick 166 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.78 [url=https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]#RAS[/url] out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 42 out of 1903 RB from 1987 to 2024. [url=https://t.co/OYXrKqpoXz]https://t.co/OYXrKqpoXz[/url] [url=https://t.co/tBwPdNtwGP]pic.twitter.com/tBwPdNtwGP[/url]— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) [url=https://twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1784304295048827042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]April 27, 2024[/url] Scouting reports Dane Brugler (The Athletic) had a fourth-round grade on the 5-foot-11, 209-pound former Boilermaker. He wrote: Displaying natural instincts with the ball in his hands, Tracy runs with the dynamic agility and elusiveness to slip tackles from different angles (21.9 percent of his carries in 2023 resulted in a 10-plus-yard run, which ranked top five in the FBS). However, his inexperience at running back shows in his sporadic tendencies when choosing run lanes. Overall, Tracy needs to improve his decision-making at the line of scrimmage, but he can create with his quick lateral cuts and contact balance — and he can stay on the field on passing downs. He is a multi-dimensional threat as a rusher, receiver and special teamer, which increases his chances of commanding an NFL roster spot. Matt Waldman (The Rookie Scouting Portfolio): Tracy spent four years as a wide receiver and return specialist at Iowa. Watch his Iowa tape and you see a wealth of trapping targets to his body and fighting the football, which is among the reasons why he’s more intriguing as a running back. Tracy is a promising athlete with elite change of direction quickness that he applies well as a running back but may have room to get even better as he becomes more adept as a decision maker between the tackles. Tracy can make an early impact in the D’Andre Swift-Kenyan Drake role as a player earning the ball in open space or handed the ball on plays between the tackles that are designed to simulate open space such as draws and toss plays. A short-term trap-door that could undermine success in this role could be ball security because most of his touches came as a receiver and he has careless moments with ball security between the tackles. If he can continue to learn the position quickly, he could become a productive committee option by the end of his first contract. [url=https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-draft/2024/players/tyrone-tracy-jr-32264/0/]33rd Team[/url]: Tracy projects as a three-down backup in a zone offense where his athleticism and quickness will be on display as a runner. While he is an older player, he is still developing as a true running back, and as his instincts and feel for the position grow, he can become a consistent contributor at the next level. On 3rd downs is where Tracy could really be impactful. He has shown he can be a true 3rd down back with his willingness to pass protect and experience and reliability as a receiver. He also has special teams upside with experience as a returner, and his athleticism and toughness should translate into a core four special teams role. 11 minutes on new NY Giants RB Tyrone Tracy[url=https://t.co/S718vgmMxS]https://t.co/S718vgmMxS[/url] Arguably the most entertaining prospect tape in the 2024 NFL Draft [url=https://t.co/VdT3sLSXtl]pic.twitter.com/VdT3sLSXtl[/url]— Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) [url=https://twitter.com/JoshNorris/status/1784306066420899957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]April 27, 2024[/url] Instant grade [url=https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades5.php]Walter Football[/url] gave the pick a ‘B’.
