While Miller has stood out this summer, so has another fellow rookie running back. Fifth-round draft pick Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been carving out a role as the Giants’ No. 2 running back during camp. The Purdue product brings a versatile skillset to the backfield as a former wide receiver converted running back.
Also competing for a roster spot is second-year rusher Eric Gray. While Gray hasn’t gotten as much attention as Miller and Tracy this summer, he is still a talented player that the Giants felt confident enough to invest a fifth-round draft pick in last offseason.
Miller will need to perform at a high level this preseason and prove that he brings more than just impressive athletic testing to the table. How he performs in game situations will be a crucial factor in the coaching staff’s decision to keep or cut Turbo at the end of the summer.
