With their fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, 172nd overall, the New York Giants selected Oklahoma running back Eric Gray.
Gray is the Giants’ fourth selection of the draft after they traded out of the fourth round. Obviously he’s no Saquon Barkley, but Gray will provide some depth in the backfield with Barkley still without a long-term contract. He also brings some receiving upside, with 99 catches for 827 yards in his college career.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic had Gray ranked as the 11th-best running back in the draft class.
