Elijhaa Penny is a useful NFL player. A fullback who can do fullback things like block and catch an occasional pass well enough. Versatile enough to handle occasional running back duties, as shown by his 24 carries for 99 yards (4.1 yards per carry) in 2021. A valuable special teams player.
With a new GM in Joe Schoen and a new coach in Brian Daboll will those skills be enough to land Penny a spot on the 2022 Giants?
