As a team the New York Giants might not be playing for a whole lot over the final nine games of the season. There are, however, a number of players who have much to prove over the final nine games.
For Darkwa, 2017 has already been the best season of his four-year NFL career. He is fourth in the league in yards per rushing attempt at 5.4. He has already set career highs in carries (51), yards (274) and pass receptions (8).
To really prove that he can be a lead back, though, Darkwa has to continue to be productive over the season’s final nine games.
