Urban Meyer Says Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott Comparisons Are 'Very Fair'

Penn State running back Saquon Barkley has already received lofty comparisons in his young career, but even a rival coach can't disagree.

After Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com compared Barkley to former Ohio State and current Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, Urban Meyer agreed.

"It's probably pretty fair," Elliott's former coach said of the comparison, per Chase Goodbread of NFL.com. "I think he's that quality of a back, that quality of a worker from everything I hear and read. I think that's very fair."
