STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Mention the month of April and Saquon Barkley grows nervous. The draft? No, it’s not the draft that’s got him worried. He’s the best running back prospect in this class by a mile, probably the best prospect period, and he’s coming off a mic-drop of a combine performance last month in Indianapolis.
There weren't many questions after that. The kid can do it all. He proved it.
First overall, fifth overall, 35th overall, doesn’t matter. Get him on a team and give him the ball.
What has Barkley anxious (not to mention excited) is his very pregnant girlfriend, who’s due with the couple’s first child around the same time the Penn State All-American will hear his name called in the first round of April’s draft.
