The New York Giants added depth to their backfield this offseason, selecting RB Eric Gray in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Gray will serve as a relief back for the team’s superstar rusher, Saquon Barkley, but he will also be a key contributor on special teams. The rookie has been New York’s first-team return specialist throughout the preseason.
After a difficult first outing against the Detroit Lions in Week 1 of the preseason, Gray bounced back in the Giants’ second preseason game. Gray told The New York Post that he is starting to feel “more settled in” after his second preseason game.
