Signed to Giants on 1-year minimum deal with $0 guaranteed after RB4 Dante Miller placed on IR.
Signed to Giants on 1-year minimum deal with $0 guaranteed after RB4 Dante Miller placed on IR. ESPN reports he was brought in as 'significant contributor.' Pre-injury career: 1,295 touches (71 games), 3.9 YPC, 6.4 YPR, 5.0 per target; never exceeded 37-yard run or 32-yard catch. Post-Achilles recovery concerns at age 27. Community split: optimists cite late-season precedent (Hunt, Henderson, Peterson) and his pass-blocking ability; skeptics emphasize inefficiency pre-injury, Nagy's conservative scheme, and durability risk. Role likely as pass-blocker and change-of-pace back; potential goal-line work if Skattebo needs rest.
