A Giants Munchkin All-Star Backfield.

TC : 4/25/2017 5:12 pm
With Bobby Rainey already on the roster, and having met with both Kade Harrington of Lamar University and Khalfani Muhammad of Cal, if they threw Tarik Cohen into the mix they could field a Munchkin all-star backfield. Kalfani is the Giant of the group listed at 5'9" 175, while Cohen is 5'6" 179, Harrington was listed at 5'9" but had shrunk to only 5'6" by the time of his pro-day, and 184 pounds.

At his pro-day Harrington only ran a 4.61 40, but he did 22 reps on the BP, and had an OK vertical of 35". And a 4.26 3-cone, which is also just OK. And a 4.38 short shuttle. But when you watch him on the field, this is another case where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. He plays much faster than he times with no wasted motion and instant acceleration. He has fantastic vision and lateral agility and is as tough at the point-of-attack as much larger RB's.

There's a good chance both Muhammad and Harrington with be UDFA's, and it would be hard to choose between them which one might better. Since they were both included among the Giants private interviews, I would have to assume that one or both might appear as prospects in whom the Giants had an interest as priority UDFA's.

The following video is an up-close look at Harrington as both a player and a young guy who has his head on straight. He's impressive.

All the more room for Munchkins. ;-)
They should have left Rainey

in Green Bay for that brain fart on the kickoff. His fumble out of bounds doomed the Giants.
