Singletary: ‘One of the best [RB] rooms I’ve been a part of’

The Giants’ running back room is another position group that has undergone significant changes since the start of last offseason. Since the end of the 2023 season, Devin Singletary was signed in free agency before Tyrone Tracy and Cam Skattebo were selected in back-to-back drafts.

The team’s top three running backs “are capable to run, to pass block, to run routes,” as Daboll mentioned in his morning press conference. While the three share similar attributes on the field, the veteran of the group shared some of their differences off of it.

“It’s fun,” Singletary said about the RB group. “This is one of the best rooms I’ve been a part of. Skatt, obviously, he brings the energy. He’s always upbeat. Trace, going into his second year. He’s kind of in between the laid back and bringing the energy, then you got me, I’m laid back. I’m the vet but I like what we got. It’s three guys, we can all do everything, we’re different in ways but we can all do everything. In the league, I feel like you have to have that.”

Tracy is coming off a promising rookie campaign in which he accumulated over 1,000 yards from scrimmage, despite spending the first month of the season in a reserve role. Now heading into Year 2, Tracy is more aware of what he needs to work on in order to bring his game to the next level.

“He got a year under his belt so he’s not like a deer in the headlights,” Singletary told reporters. “He knows what’s going on now. Now it’s instead of trying to work on so many things, it’s just these small things he has to work on, like let me get better at this, let me get better at that. He can really hone in on his game so that’s the biggest changes I’ve seen with him.”

Mbow: Adjustment to NFL has been ‘smooth’

After the completion of the 2025 NFL Draft, general manager Joe Schoen said the team was “a little bit surprised” that Marcus Mbow was still available when they were on the clock at No. 154. Schoen said the team “really liked his film” and were excited about both his athleticism and his position flexibility.

Through the first week of training camp, we have seen glimpses of his athletic abilities. Mbow has had some strong reps in 1-on-1 drills against some of the team’s best defensive linemen, something the 22-year-old has been looking forward to for a long time.

“It’s been smooth,” said the rookie lineman. “It’s really one of the main reasons I was looking forward to becoming a pro, just being able to go against better competition day in and day out. I feel like I’m doing a good job adjusting to the tempo of things.”

While you could go down the list of talented defensive linemen Mbow and the rest of the O-line has had to face during practice, the player generating the most buzz is of course Abdul Carter. The No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft has displayed some impressive pass rush moves over the first week of training camp, getting into the quarterbacks’ faces on a consistent basis. Mbow shared with the media how going up against Carter on some reps has helped improve his own game.

“He’s a great player, extremely fast, a lot of bend so it’s good to be able to go against him,” Mbow said. “Iron sharpens iron daily. Not a lot of people can move the way he does. He’s very fast, very explosive cat. He’s able to bend the edge very well so being to go against that and being able to fight over the top of the rush, plays like that.”
