Giants select RB Tyrone Tracy in 2024 NFL draft: 5 things to know


Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

“Tracy is a bet on athleticism and versatility. He brings enough burst, balance and speed to see the outlines of a useful running back. Tracy also brings pass-catching experience and potential as a kick returner. Tracy would fit best in a gap-heavy system that can simplify his reads and let him loose.” – Derrick Klassen, BR NFL Scout

“I’d be lying if I wasn’t interested in Tyrone Tracy despite his average yards per play (2.5). That’s because Tracy played WR in college at Iowa before switching to RB in 2023 at Purdue. In his first year as a running back, Tracy led his draft class in yards after contact per attempt. Also finished in Sports Info Solution’s boom percentage at 15% – a mark that summarizes the percentage of plays that result in an EPA greater than +1 (great play for the offense).

“Tracy was so underrated in this draft class that he was not even in the draft-eligible pool for rookies on Underdog’s pre-draft best ball contests.

“He’s got good size at 5-foot-11 and 2019 pounds with great athleticism. Sub 4.5-speed with a 94th percentile vertical jump, 83rd percentile broad jump and 89th percentile 3-cone drill.” – Andrew Erickson, Fantasy Pros
