New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was the latest hot topic on the most recent episode of Hard Knocks, and what was said about him may not have been delivered as smoothly as intended.
Giants general manager Joe Schoen had this to say about his newest bell cow when touching on how he can help the team win in 2024 and beyond (h/t Will Riggs of Athlon Sports’ Eagles Today):
“He was a guy we had on our radar the last four years,” Schoen said. “He’s been the leading rusher on whatever team he’s been on. The last four years, those teams have won a playoff game. So, he’s good enough to win with. He’s healthy, he’s durable, and he’s good enough to win playoff games
Yes, Schoen acknowledged Singletary’s workload and deliverance on it on his prior teams, as well as his playoff success, but “good enough” may have come across as if there’s a lack of absolute confidence that their marquee offseason signee can fill former franchise RB Saquon Barkley’s shoes next season.
A reply of “it’s good enough” upon revealing the restaurant you booked reservations at to celebrate your loved one’s graduation would likely make one think twice. The same could be said here, though ultimately, the team signing and paying the Florida native $16.5 million over the next three years speaks loudest.
