Tyrone Tracy is tackling the offseason prep by turning to a big business.<\/p>\n

The second-year Giants running back had an impressive rookie season to help fill in the void that Saquon Barkley left in New York. He ran for 839 yards for five touchdowns but he also fumbled five times across 17 games.<\/p>\n

To rid himself of those butter fingers, Tracy went to Amazon.<\/p>\n

The fifth-round draft pick in 2024 who transitioned from wide receiver to running back purchased grip strengtheners from the company, Tracy told reporters on Thursday, in an attempt to help him fix what is one of his biggest weaknesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, it starts on the football field. Every time I\u2019m holding the ball or I get the ball, whatever it is, making sure I\u2019m holding it right,\u201d Tracy said<\/a> of how he is working on his ball security. \u201cI also bought \u2014 I don\u2019t know if y\u2019all know what it is \u2014 but it\u2019s like a little grip strengthener off of Amazon that I use every night. I helps me and also it\u2019s just making sure I\u2019m being fundamentally sound when I\u2019m holding the ball as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracy\u2019s response not only caught NFL fans\u2019 attention, but also an Amazon executive.<\/p>\n

Andy Jassy posted on X <\/a>on Sunday, saying, \u201cAs a big #NYG fan, just want to say we\u2019re here for you, Tyrone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grip strengtheners are a great rehab tool coming back from injury, but also helps athletes to boost their hands, fingers, and wrists. Many also have an adjustable resistance grip, anywhere from 10 to 100-plus pounds.<\/p>\n

If Tracy is able to turn around this part of his game, the Giants\u2019 rushing attack could take the next step<\/p>\n

He was also used as a receiver last year, tallying 284 yards over 38 receptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at all the great running backs, they look consistent year after year after year,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cSo, that\u2019s what I want to be. I want to be one of the great New York Giant running backs that\u2019s coming through here. It starts with consistency and that\u2019s going to start at practice every day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyrone Tracy is tackling the offseason prep by turning to a big business.
