New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is sick of the criticism surrounding his running style.
When asked by a reporter Friday if he's making an effort to run more "north-south," Barkley responded, via Sports Illustrated's Dan Lyons:
“This is probably the last time I’m going to speak on this. I know people want to say, ‘Dancing… He don’t get north-south,’ but I’m not going to just run into my linemen’s back. That’s not how I play the game, that’s not how I’ve been playing since I was eight years old. I’ve been playing the position for a very long time, and by no means am I the perfect running back, I’ve still got so much work to do.
