As the Saquon Barkley chapter closed in East Rutherford, the Devin Singletary one began... or so that's how it was supposed to go.
After rushing for 3,151 yards and 16 touchdowns in Buffalo, and another 898 and four scores in Houston, the New York Giants signed Singletary to a three-year, $16.5 million contract in 2024. The 28-year-old had familiarity with head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen from their three years together with the Bills. Unfortunately for the former Florida Atlantic standout, his role as lead back would be challenged almost immediately by a fifth-round pick out of Purdue.
