In a football era where the fullback position has become outdated, the New York Giants are going with the “chicken salad on rye” approach.
On Wednesday, Big Blue decided to re-sign Elijhaa Penny to a two-year deal. Penny has been with the Giants much of the last two years. He was slated to become a restricted free agent this offseason.
The 26-year-old originally played his college ball at the University of Idaho, where he spent time as a running back. In his senior season in 2015, he rushed for 1,159 yards on a 4.7 yards-per-carry rate with 10 touchdowns.
