Tyrone Tracy Jr. spent last summer just trying to make the team. That was his only goal. Just find a way onto the 53, hit the holes, catch passes, and prove he belongs. Now, he’s the starting running back for the New York Giants after one of the most out-of-nowhere seasons in recent Giants history.
It wasn’t exactly supposed to unfold this way. Not after Saquon Barkley left for Philly. Not after Devin Singletary went down in Week 4. Tracy was supposed to rotate in, maybe get a couple of looks a game, and develop behind the 28-year-old seven-year vet.
