Will RB Eric Gray be a factor for the Giants this year?

With Saquon Barkley’s contract situation still not sorted out, the New York Giants have a bit of an uncertain future at running back. New York likely did not find Barkley’s potential replacement by taking Eric Gray in the fifth round of this year’s draft, but they did select a player with the skillset to play every down.

As we head into training camp and the preseason, we’ll get a better idea of how Gray will function in the Giants’ offense. Could he become a real contributor this year? Or just another late-round running back that doesn’t pan out?
