Singletary also compared his playmaking ability on Monday to Saquon Barkley, who’s shoes he will attempt to fill in a toothless Giants offense in 2024. It would be disingenuous to cast off what was largely a productive 2023 season in Houston that saw him amass over 1000 yards from scrimmage, but Singletary wasn’t notably efficient in any category and faces a significant downgrade in the talent around him. The Giants offensive line in 2023 graded out as PFF’s third-worst run blocking unit in the NFL, which will make Singletary’s mission to prove that he can be mentioned in the same sentence as Barkley that much more difficult. The good news for Singletary: the competition for the lead role is relatively low-profile besides 5th-round pick and potential sleeper Tyrone Tracy out of Purdue. Daboll and Singletary have familiarity with each other from their time in Buffalo (2019-2021), making it likely that Singletary gets the first crack at work through training camp and into the early regular season. He’s the current RB32 in Underdog best ball drafts, making him a relatively low-risk swing at value in the late-9th/early-10th round.
