Following a hometown parade in his honor — after 5,000 people lauded him for his play in Happy Valley — Saquon Barkley fielded questions from reporters about the NFL Draft, the New York Giants and the business side of becoming a superstar. But when asked about something other than himself — his former teammates — the consensus All-American cracked a smile.
Barkley is "excited" about Miles Sanders and the rest of Penn State's running backs. Sanders, the top choice in 2018, is an "exceptional talent," according to Barkley. But the future first-round pick also likes what Mark Allen, Journey Brown and Jonathan Thomas bring to the table this spring.
