Giants' Saquon Barkley Says He Will Use Tiki Barber's Criticism as 'Challenge'

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley told reporters Thursday that he will take ex-Giant great Tiki Barber's recent criticism of his pass protection as a "challenge," per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.

"Obviously, Tiki is a legend. Done a lot of great things for this franchise," Barkley said per Raanan.

"So I'm not going to look at it as disrespect. I'm going to look at it as a challenge."

Barkley struggled with pass-blocking in the Giants' 26-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, prompting Barber to make these comments on CBS Sports Radio's Tiki and Tierney Show.
