The New York Giants chose former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
He rushed for 1,271 yards last season and finished his career at Penn State with 3,843, second in program history. He accounted for 23 touchdowns — 18 rushing, three receiving, two on kickoff returns — in 2017, when he finished second in the nation in all-purpose yards with 2,239.
Barkley, a consensus All-American for the Nittany Lions, announced in December he was skipping his final year of eligibility to declare for the NFL draft.
At the NFL combine Barkley wowed scouts from all 32 teams.
