New York Giants RB Rod Smith calls Saquon Barkley the ‘engine of the team’ (Video)

Rod Smith has played the majority of the last four years with the Dallas Cowboys. However, this offseason he entered free agency for the first time. Smith ended up signing with a division rival, the New York Giants.

Smith played behind one of the league’s best running backs, Ezekiel Elliott, during his time with the Cowboys. When Elliott was suspended six games in 2017 Smith totaled a career-high 232 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Now Smith will back-up another top-tier rusher. He is currently competing for the third-string running back spot with Paul Perkins and Jonathan Hilliman.
