Saquon Barkley passes on work out at Penn State Pro Day

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Saquon Barkley didn't work out at Penn State's Pro Day after learning that no NFL running backs coaches would be in attendance, but the former Nittany Lions star will soon begin team visits.

Barkley had planned to participate in workouts for pro personnel on Tuesday but, like Penn State's other participants at the NFL scouting combine, was not going to go through testing again.

"I woke up this morning and that was the game plan," Barkley said, "but then when I realized there wasn't a running backs coach here, I figured there was no point for me to run routes or do drills.
