Rookie running backs are expected to be impact players.
Rookie running backs drafted No. 2 overall are expected to change the course of a franchise. Especially when you passed on potential franchise quarterbacks to take one, as the Giants did.
The Giants' rushing attack hasn't ranked in the top half of the 32-team NFL since 2012, slipping to No. 29 and No. 26, in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Ahmad Bradshaw's 1,015 rushing yards in 2012 are the last time the Giants had a 1,000-yard back — and no rookie in franchise history has reached four digits.
