Giddens' disappointing rookie year (96 yards on 26 carries) limits RB2 outlook.
DJ GiddensRBIND
Giddens, a second-year fifth-round pick, is competing with seventh-round rookie Seth McGowan for the RB2 role in Indianapolis. His rookie year was not encouraging; the rushing ability and speed he showed at Kansas State (4.43-second 40) did not materialize in the NFL, as he played just 69 snaps and turned 26 carries into 96 yards. Unless he takes clear control of the RB2 role in training camp, he would likely project as an RB3 or RB4.
