Saquon Barkley’s 2018 draft selection was met with much applause, but the New York Giants star wasn’t too fond of the annual event.
The New York Giants were searching for answers after the 2017 campaign, a season in which the four-time Super Bowl champs won just three games. There were glaring holes all throughout the roster heading into the draft. But, general manager Dave Gettleman stuck by his word and selected the best player available, running back Saquon Barkley, at No. 2 overall.
It was certainly a pick that excited Giants fans, considering what Saquon was able to do at Penn State — win the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year twice and earn consensus All-American honors.
