Saquon Barkley is the future of the New York Giants — and according to the team's general manager, the Penn State back was "touched by the hand of God."
Hyperbole aside, the Giants feel as though they selected a special player. New York took Barkley at No. 2 overall Thursday night, passing on highly regarded quarterbacks like Southern California's Sam Darnold and UCLA's Josh Rosen. Giants GM Dave Gettleman didn't want Eli Manning's replacement; he wanted "the unanimous best player in the draft."
So, how does Barkley fit with the Giants? Was it a surprise they didn't take Darnold?
