The Giants are down to one unsigned draft pick, and have the running back they expect to contribute this under under contract.

The team announced that fourth-rounder Wayne Gallman has signed, which leaves just first-round tight end Evan Engram without a deal.

Gallman, a running back from Clemson, will be expected to play a significant role this year in the absence of a free agent addition at the position. He and second-year back Paul Perkins are the most likely candidates to carry the load in the backfield.

Gallman rushed 675 times for 3,424 yards at Clemson, a 5.1-yard average.
