Saquon Barkley on preseason playing time: Put me in, Coach!

The Giants start preparing for their preseason opener this week, and the biggest question will be who plays and for how long.

If it was up to Saquon Barkley, that would be an easy one.

“I think you know the answer to that,” he said when asked for his preferred preseason workload. “I love football. Practice is fun and you get better every single day, but there’s nothing like going out there and playing with your teammates…When you actually get to go up there and go against another team, that’s the thing that you love.”

Too bad Barkley probably has little to no say in whether or not he does play this Thursday night against the Jets.
