The New York Giants have a brand new quarterback room this summer, and there is plenty of excitement as they have an interesting mix of established veterans and a promising rookie vying for playing time.

The Giants added 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson, the well-traveled former first overall pick in Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart, a player they hope will one day be their franchise quarterback.

All three are capable of getting the football down the field, which has the club and its fan base optimistic that the Giants are headed in the right direction.

One downside to this group is that none of them are as mobile as one would like in this day and age. That could lead to other issues and affect the offense as a whole.

One player to focus on this season is second-year running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., who is poised for a possible breakout year. Dan Duggan of The Athletic believes the lack of a rushing quarterback, however, could hinder Tracy’s production this season.

Tracy averaged 15.8 carries for 86 yards in his first six starts last season. He then averaged 12.1 carries for 42 yards in his final seven games. There are a variety of factors that contributed to that decline, but it’s notable that Tracy’s plummeting production coincided with quarterback Daniel Jones’ benching. For all of Jones’ limitations as a passer, he was a legitimate running threat who created lanes on zone reads. Replacements Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito were non-factors on designed runs. Wilson’s effectiveness and usage as a runner have declined as he has aged. He had designed runs on 3.3% of his plays last season compared to 10.1% for Jones. It will be interesting to see how having a less mobile quarterback impacts Tracy’s production.

The 36-year-old Wilson was once a proficient scrambler, but he only runs out of necessity these days. Winston has never been noted for his ability out of the pocket, and Dart showed that he can run out of trouble in college, but this is the NFL.

This is a situation to keep an eye on. Tracy is a multi-faceted back, and his value as a receiver has to be taken into account. The Giants have other early-down options in the running game, such as veteran Devin Singletary and rookie Cam Skattebo, so Tracy’s usage this year is still to be determined.
