Eric Gray

Although Gray is probably too small and slow to project as a long-term starter (4.62 pro day 40 at 5-10, 205), he demonstrated skill as a runner and even more as a receiver at Oklahoma and Tennessee, which projects him as a good off-the-bench running back and a potential starter in a pinch in the NFL. His lack of speed is probably why Gray was only occasionally explosive as a runner (5.1 YPC through his first three years), but as a pass catcher he was a clear standout (99 receptions for 827 yards and five touchdowns on 127 career targets). While he probably lacks the athletic tools to propel an offense, Gray's skill set is solid enough that he won't drag an offense down, either. That's all the Giants really need out of Gray as a 2023 fifth-round pick, and he's a strong candidate to take incumbent Matt Breida's role as the backup to Saquon Barkley.
