The first skill position players to get their measurements were the running backs. The consensus top back in the country did nothing to lower his status as the draft’s best player.
Penn State RB Saquon Barkley measured at 6-0, 233 pounds, both larger numbers than he had been listed before. He’s a large back to be certain, which makes it all the more impressive with the comparisons he’s drawn among some of the game’s best backs.
Only adding to his impressive measurable was his bench press numbers. He did 29 reps of 225 which was tied with Georgia’s Nick Chubb for the most among running backs.
