A few years ago, Saquon Barkley bought a Joe Namath jersey as a gift for his dad. Alibay Barkley is a big Jets fan – he even has a tattoo of the team’s logo – and he and Saquon would often watch Jets games while Saquon was growing up.

On Sunday, when Barkley and the Giants face the Jets, his father plans to wear that jersey.
