Really interesting story. Guy transferred to South Carolina from Columbia and because of a compliance department snafu only had the chance to play a few games for South Carolina in 2022 and did not enter the draft last year. Ran a 4.27 at South Carolina's most recent pro day and just signed with the Giants as basically a rookie FA. With that speed, I imagine some team may have taken a chance on him in the draft.

I was just about to say. I was talking about this guy a month back because I saw SC bench numbers and was shocked he put up 28 reps at 190 lbs. He seems like a great kid and I thought he was going to be in this years draft. What a steal to get an undrafted Free Agent before the draft!

I liked the way he uses his vision and blockers. Nice to see when RBs do that.

I heard a familiar voice doing the announcing for Columbia. It was the Giants own Lance Medow. I wonder if he was in the front office's ear about this kid?
Agreed.
At the very least, he’ll be an interesting story in the Preseason games.

Rooting for him. This takes pressure off of drafting a RB. I like having an x-tra draft pick. And seems like a great kid.

He makes up for our 7th pick we lost in the Isaiah Simmons trade.

I noticed the same thing!

This was always going to be RBBC. Best way to go - it’s not 1986 anymore. Workhorse/Bellcow RBs are a thing of the past for the most part. Glad we put those days behind us… again.
This guy has speed, burst and what looks like decent vision and patience. Hard to tell with some of the competition he faced but definitely someone to be optimistic about as part of a RBBC.
Dante Miller Highlights 2021 - ( New Window )
Remember, those highlights were more than two years ago. All he's done the last year is train for the NFL draft.
Who knows but it’s been a positive off season thus far.
Hopefully not ruined by another Daniel jones reach pick
4.27!!! Did the Giants just found their future kick returner! A great complimentary RBBC!.....or just camp folders.
Who knows.....but love the story, love the potential and the reason why I check into BBI everyday.....a couple of times a day!
Would still very much consider RB about Rd 3.

More context: Miller worked out for the Giants on Monday. He had a workout scheduled with another team and others showing interest. But would be tough to find a RB room that presented a clearer potential spot to a roster spot. He signed a standard undrafted free agent three-year deal.

In other words, we have the worst RBs in the league...

Cowboys starting RB right now is Rico Dowdle.
Singletary is probably better as a one two punch so I do feel Schoen tries to add as much variety in the RB room.
At 5-9 200 lbs he is rock solid too,he could easy be our punt returner which we have been trying to find.You can't teack 4.27 tha's for sure.
Interesting little subplot to the Barkley drama, which I assure you we have not heard the last of.
