Report: New York Giants To Resign Orleans Darkwa, But Why?

If the rumors are true and the New York Giants are looking at drafting Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, then why should they re-sign Orleans Darkwa?

Well, Darkwa had a solid year in 2017, racking up 751 yards and five rushing touchdowns, averaging 4.4 yards per-carry. Pretty shiny stats for a player that was running behind a makeshift offensive line.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan:

Orleans Darkwa’s breakout season should pay off. He may have the greatest chance of their notable free agents to return. The Giants want him back, according to a source.
