Eric Gray had a big game against the Detroit Lions in which he made his case to be the Giants RB2.
New York Giants running back Eric Gray, the team’s 2023 fifth-round pick out of Oklahoma, has been named to Pro Football Focus’s preseason Week 1for his performance in the Giants’ 14-3 preseason win over the Detroit Lions last week.
Gray had 98 all-purpose yards that included a 24-yard catch-and-run on a check down from Tommy DeVito. Brian Daboll was pleased with the running backs' performance as a whole but singled out Gray in his press conference on Friday. Gray is coming off a forgettable rookie campaign. Last season, the team tried to shoe-horn him in as a return specialist, a role for which he wasn’t suited. He then hit another patch of adversity when he suffered a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve.
