‘More than a running back’: Saquon Barkley wants to do it all

Eli Manning drops back, looks for Odell Beckham Jr., wheels left and throws a swing pass to Saquon Barkley. Barkley makes the first defense miss, jukes the linebacker, and there he goes!

Sa-Gone!

Barkley takes the handoff from Manning, reverses field, cuts inside, then outside, and there he goes!

Sa-Gone!

Such are the expectations that await Saquon Barkley:

Allow Eli Manning one last Super Bowl run.

Make life easier on Beckham.

Help keep the defense off the field and therefore fresh.

Make such an impact that Giants fans won’t be cursing Dave Gettleman for passing on Sam Darnold and gifting him to the Jets.
