There’s nothing that New York Giants’ running back Saquon Barkley can’t do. Few times do players with his level of hype and team situation stand out immediately and make an impact. He’s done that in a breathtaking way since he arrived via Penn State football. From hurdling defenders, cutting back long touchdown runs, making plays in the passing game or pass-blocking for Eli Manning, he’s done it all. And he’s accomplished everything with a team that’s going through a transition with an aging quarterback and a porous offensive line.
Despite all the external problems around him, Barkley has rushed for 954 yards and eight touchdowns on 4.
