Giants' Saquon Barkley lives up to the hype during rookie season

The No. 2 pick beat the No. 1 pick when New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year on Saturday at NFL Honors.

Barkley bested Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield for the award. Mayfield was the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, and Barkley was second.

Barkley is the second Giant to collect the honor in the past five years. Odell Beckham Jr. won the award for his rookie season in 2014.
