Despite the lack of team success and a poor offensive line, Orleans Darkwa has proven himself worthy of being the New York Giants workhorse. Darkwa’s 751 rushing yards and five touchdowns aren’t the most eye popping numbers at first glance. However, they are respectable for one member of a four-person committee.
When you dive further into the numbers, it is evident that Darkwa excels exponentially when he is given more opportunity.
There were just six games this year when Darkwa was given the ball at least 14 times. In those six games, he rushed for 518 yards at a rate of 4.
