There are three reasons why the Giants rookie can be the third-down back. The first is the upside in pass protection. He struggled with it in his final collegiate season but held his own throughout the rest of his collegiate career. When he was asked to do it most often (during his time in Sacramento), he thrived, per Pro Football Focus’ grading.

Another matchup of teams trying to build their way back to respectability. There is also a lot of history between these two teams. Plus, the possibility of a Dart-Drake Maye storyline, the quarterback the Giants got in 2025 and the one they tried to trade up and get in 2024.
