To say Saquon Barkley exceeded the hype surrounding him after the New York Giants took him second overall in the 2018 draft would be a huge understatement.
Not only did he have the best season ever for a Giants rookie running back, he put forth one of the best seasons by a rookie running back in NFL history.
He became just the third running back to have 2,000 all-purpose yards as a rookie, joining Eric Dickerson (1983) and Edgerrin James (1999). This is why he was named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pepsi Rookie of the Year.
