New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley looks up to David Tyree in many ways (Video)

Saquon Barkley is jealous of David Tyree.

Recently, I spoke with the young phenom at the Children of the City charity event hosted by Tyree, New York Giants‘ Super Bowl hero. We spoke about Saquon’s record-setting rookie year and career goals, giving back to the community and his “welcome to the NFL moment.”

Barkley is becoming a humble leader on the field and a pillar of the community off of it. When asked about legacy, Barkley mentioned Tyree’s famous helmet catch, but quickly pointed out that the elder’s charitable efforts are something to look up to.
