CBS Sports names key player for Giants in 2021

Heading into the upcoming NFL season it’s easy to believe that quarterback Daniel Jones is the key player for the New York Giants’ success this year. But it looks like someone disagrees.

Patrik Walker of CBS Sports wrote an article this week naming one player from each team that is on a rookie contract that is the key to their team’s success. He chose running back Saquon Barkley for the Giants.

Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB

Player experience: 3 years
How acquired: 2018 NFL Draft – Round 1, Pick 2

Easily one of the top-10 talents at his position, Barkley simply needs to stay healthy.
