Saquon Barkley had to wait a long time for his name to come up on the annual NFL Top 100 list — unlike the 2018 NFL Draft, when the New York Giants made his the second called.
Barkley was voted the sixteenth best player in the entire NFL by his peers — fellow NFL players. That sort of recognition is normally reserved for veterans who have had a chance to create a track record and body of work. For a rookie to be rated that highly, he has to be pretty special.
