Running back coach Craig Johnson reflects on the state of the running backs after their first preseason game.
Who would have thought that Orleans Darkwa would steal the show during the first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals? The New York Giants have a trio of solid running backs with Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen and Andre Williams. Yet it was the left out Darkwa who was the most effective against the Bengals, with nine carries for 52 yards. Not only did the game put Darkwa on the map for most fans, he grabbed the attention of the Giants running back coach, Craig Johnson.
