Just look at Bucky Irving, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2024 fourth-round pick, who led rookie RBs with 1,122 rushing yards last season. On top of that, the New York Giants added Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the fifth round, and only Irving and Jayden Daniels (891) had more rushing yards than the Purdue product (839) within the draft class.
