So far, the thing that has impressed the Giants most about Saquon Barkley is, well, Saquon Barkley.
Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since he was in any game action carrying a football. A hamstring injury sidelined him for a few weeks this preseason and he hasn’t played since Aug. 9 against the Browns. That’s a month out of the public eye, a month without any clips to break Twitter or make the nightly Top 10s.
But behind the scenes, he’s been pushing forward on his goal to not only be a great running back but a leader as a rookie on a Giants team that already has a good number of experienced playmakers.
