Saquon Barkley is a Heisman candidate who’s also destined for NFL stardom

If Saquon Barkley isn’t a household name by now, your household doesn’t watch enough college football. Not only is Barkley considered a top college talent, but a Heisman frontrunner too. If NFL teams were high on Leonard Fournette or Christian McCaffrey, they’ll be exhilarated about Saquon Barkley.

The Penn State running back has produced consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons on 5.7 yards per carry and 25 touchdowns. He proved to be dual-threat running back after tacking on 402 receiving yards. In the Rose Bowl, Barkley had 25 carries for 194 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, and added five receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown.
