The Giants have re-signed exclusive rights free agent running back Orleans Darkwa. Undrafted out of Tulane last year by Miami, he found his way on the Giants’ roster after failing to qualify for the Dolphins’ 53 man roster. Darkwa was added first to the practice squad in the middle of the 2014 season before a timely promotion to the active roster in November.

He appeared in every game for the Giants, gaining 153 total yards on 36 attempts, adding three catches for 31 more yards and one touchdown, his breakout performance coming in Week 8 against Dallas. Darkwa is expected to contend for a more prominent role in the team’s highly populated backfield this season.
