The 2018 NFL Draft is upon us. In the vast seas of mock drafts, several running backs have been linked to the New York Giants. In the first round, Penn State running back Saquon Barkley has been compared to Gale Sayers or Adrian Peterson. There would be a bounty of players to choose from in the second round, such as Georgia’s Sony Michel and Nick Chubb, or Ronald Jones of USC.
Remember when the Giants were a run-first, physical football team? Any one of these running backs can basically be the catalyst for a return to that for several years.
