Last Thursday, Saquon Barkley added a little brightness to his typical shade of blue, exchanging his dark duds at Penn State for bright shades of the New York Giants. While Barkley’s drafting, taken second overall by general manager Dave Gettleman the Giants in the 2018 NFL Draft, was mostly met with positive reviews, there are some who have given Barkley a not-so-friendly New York welcome.
For the Giant fan that has had to deal with Barkley disbelievers, we’ve assembled the most common myths spread about the Penn State legend. To help deal with this army, the cults of a quarterback worshippers who probably will never be fully appeased, we present, in turn, counterarguments that, though lengthy, should at least end arguments faster than a Barkley run to daylight.
