In 1990, Giants’ career rushing leader Joe Morris was no longer the starting RB and dealing with injuries. The club had brought in O.J. Anderson who was now the starter with Maurice Carthon his blocking fullback, plus George Adams, Lee Rouson and second-year player Dave Meggett as backups. Anderson was 32-years old while Adams was supposed to be the back of the future yet had failed to crack the starting lineup. The Giants needed some fresh legs. And so, with the 24th pick in the NFL draft, the franchise selected Rodney Hampton from Georgia.
