Giants work out Syracuse RB Sean Tucker

The New York Giants continue to poke around running back prospects ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

Syracuse running back Sean Tucker worked out for four teams as part of his limited pro day on Monday. Among those teams was the Giants.

Tucker looked like an athletic specimen at the running back position displaying both his strength and athleticism with standout numbers in the vertical leap and bench press portion of the workout.

Tucker matched Saquon Barkley’s 29 reps of 225 bench press, an upper-echelon strength mark from the running back position.

If Tucker ends up as a Giant he would likely be a backup to Barkley, who has many similarities to the Syracuse standout. In college, Tucker posted 3,804 scrimmage yards and 31 touchdowns in just 33 games for the Orange.

New York is in need of a young running back with the veteran Matt Breida serving as their second option for now. Drafting a player like Tucker on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL draft could help bolster this core and give some fresh legs behind Barkley.
