Giddens, a 2025 fifth-round pick, has a similar general profile and came into the league with a tad more draft investment behind him, but he did very little last season and has not done enough to lock down the RB2 job.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Giddens' underperformance last season leaves RB2 role vulnerable to McGowan.

2025 fifth-round pick competing with Seth McGowan for the RB2 role behind Jonathan Taylor. Giddens has a similar general profile to McGowan but underperformed last season and has not done enough to lock down the backup job. If McGowan looks more decisive, physical, or explosive through camp and preseason, the seventh-round pick's lower draft capital will not hold him back in the depth chart battle. Giddens' failure to separate himself creates an opening for McGowan to claim meaningful backup touches.
