I'm willing to bet Rob Carpenter was the last Giants FB with more than a 100 rushing attempts in a season

Pretty good intuition, Rich, but you would have lost that bet. Jarrod Bunch had 104 carries for 501 yards and three touchdowns in 1992. Charles Way ran the ball 151 times for 698 yards  and four touchdowns in 1997 and 113 times for 432 and three touchdowns in 1998. He was also a damn fine receiver, catching over 30 passes in three consecutive seasons. His 37 catches for 304 yards in 1997 gave him a total of 1002 yards from scrimmage that campaign. A 1000+ yard season is a feat that we most likely will not see again soon (if ever) out of a Giant fullback.

Now that I think about it, Charlie Way is another all-time non-star favorite of mine.

 i would have said that also. along with Maurice Carthon were two of my favorite non stars at RB.

To me, a non star is a guy with limited talent, so he will enver gain stardom, but gosh darn plays their heart out on every play to the best of their ability.

George Martin would head my list. As football players go, he wasn't a big star, but to any Giants fan, he was huge.
Same can be said for Brian Kelley.
I hate to include the word NASTY, but that is part of being a winning football team.
