#5: Gary Brightwell

Projected Role: Reserve Runningback, Special Teams

Gary Brightwell will be the NY Giants’ third running back. He will spell Saquon and Devontae Booker in some situations to save their legs and hopefully provide a spark on offense.

Brightwell is a hard runner who runs fast and bounces off defenders. He is a menace on special teams, showcasing maximum heart and effort each time he stepped on the field. He seems like a total Joe Judge player which bodes him well for year one in the NFL.
