2. D’Onta Foreman, Running Back, Texas

D’Onta Foreman would be a perfect fit for the Giants. He has a workhorse mentality and is that every down back that would bring a spark to the Giants offense. Foreman is capable of finding holes and making the most of his rushing attempts.

Foreman is in his third year with the Texas Longhorns. He has played in all 28 games, starting in 10 games. This season, Foreman leads the nation in rushing yards with 2,028 yards on 323 attempts. He is a finalist for the Doak Walker Award and a semifinalist for the Walter Camp Play of the Year Award and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.

Foreman is the first player to reach 1,000 yards in a season at Texas, since Jamaal Charles. He is a big back at 6’1″, 249 lbs. This makes him hard to take down and capable of yards after contact. The Giants need a rusher like Foreman in their back field.

In order for the Giants to have a sound offensive attack, they need a running game. This season the running game is lacking. Without a running game, the Giants are a one-dimensional team. Foreman would be able to open up the offensive, making it easier for Manning.
