The New York Giants and fullback Eli Penny, who was scheduled to become a restricted free agent, agreed to terms on a two-year deal on Wednesday night, according to multiple reports.
The 26-year-old Penny originally signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho in the 2016 NFL Draft. He remained with the team for three years before signing with the Giants in 2018.
In 30 career games with the Giants, Penny has primarily served as a blocking back, but has also gained 64 yards on 22 carries, adding 59 yards on 10 receptions.
Penny’s return to East Rutherford is a good indication that the Giants will lean heavily on the ground game and will rely on a traditional, but multi-faceted fullback to lead the way.
