Most people already recognize that Saquon Barkley is the best and most important player on the Giants’ roster. He is the centerpiece of the offense, the cornerstone of the future, and the tentpole for the organization. Whatever the Giants achieve this season and in the future likely will come on the back of his accomplishments.

This week, the Giants made that designation official.

Barkley was named one of seven team captains in voting conducted by the players on Monday.
