Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB
Tracy's per-carry production held steady across his first two seasons despite a deteriorating NYG offense around him. That kind of consistency from a Day-3 pick is the signal a lead-back role is earned, not handed. The 99-yard drop in total rushing comes mostly from missing two games, not from any per-touch decline.
Rookie-year 839 yards led NYG in 2024; 2025 followed with 740 yards in 15 games — steady production.

Why it matters. Career averages are the cleanest read on whether a young RB is genuinely a starter or just a placeholder. Tracy's 4.29 YPC and 2.31 catches/game put him in true lead-back territory, even though he was a Day-3 pick. The 67.2 scrimmage yards per game is a real workhorse line for a 5th-round rookie-to-second-year back.
Tracy's 839 rookie yards is the 2nd-most by any NYG rookie RB since 2010 — only Saquon Barkley has more.

| Cam Skattebo | 2025 | 410 | 101 |
Why it matters. NYG has cycled through plenty of rookie RBs in the last 15 years and only one (Saquon, a #2 overall pick) has out-rushed Tracy in a debut season. That's a long list of premium-pick busts and Day-3 hopefuls Tracy beat from the 5th round. The gap to #3 (Andre Williams, 721 yds) is also meaningful — Tracy isn't squeaking onto the leaderboard.
Tracy finished 2nd in rushing among 2024 rookie RBs (839), trailing only Bucky Irving (1,199).

| Braelon Allen (NYJ) | 334 | 92 | 2 |
Why it matters. Rookie-class rank is a clean comp because everyone faced the same season of NFL defenses for the same number of weeks. Finishing #2 in rushing yards among all 2024 rookie RBs — and #1 if you exclude the one runaway leader — is a strong outcome for a 5th-round pick. The 361-yard gap to #3 (Ray Davis) underscores how much of a two-man race the class became.
TDs cratered from 6 (5 rush, 1 rec) in 2024 to 4 (2 rush, 2 rec) in 2025 — despite nearly identical per-game volume.
AnomalyTracy scoring profile by year
| Year | Rush TDs | Rec TDs | Total TDs | Carries | Targets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 5 | 1 | 6 | 192 | 53 |
| 2025 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 176 | 48 |
Why it matters. When a back's TD total drops but his volume and per-carry efficiency hold or improve, the most likely cause is goal-line opportunity rather than skill regression. Tracy's 2025 NYG offense had fewer red-zone trips, and Cam Skattebo absorbed a piece of the goal-line work as a rookie. Expect TD positive-regression if the workload sticks.
