1st TD of his career!
— NFL (@NFL) September 9, 2018Saquon Barkley flashed plenty of explosiveness and big-play ability on an electrifying touchdown run in his NFL debut for the Giants on Sunday afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars at MetLife Stadium.
With 10:39 in the game, and the Giants trailing 20-9, Barkley took a handoff from quarterback Eli Manning, broke three tackles in the backfield, stepped over a defender along the sideline and streaked downfield for the touchdown to pull the Giants within five.
Chosen with the No. 2 overall pick in April's 2018 NFL Draft, expectations have been high for Barkley, who averaged 5.
