The running back position is something the New York Giants need to get more out of. Of all the candidates for the job, Vereen has one big advantage.
Vereen is the only proven receiving running back that the Giants have. In the West Coast Offense that Ben McAdoo calls that is a very big deal. In many offenses the running back is nothing more than a safety valve and a pass protector, in McAdoo’s offense Vereen will be used as a weapon.
Vereen will create matchup nightmares for linebackers trying to cover him in space. Vereen understands his role as a receiving running back.
