Saquon Barkley breaks a big run in first carry as a Giant

Modal Trigger

Saquon Barkley busts loose for a 39-yard run in his first carry as a Giant during their 20-10 loss to the Browns in Thursday night's preseason opener.

It did not take long for Saquon Barkley to show what he can bring to the Giants, and the NFL.

Head coach and play-caller Pat Shurmur wasted no time giving Giants fans what they wanted to see. The very first play of Thursday night’s preseason opener was a handoff to Barkley and with one quick burst the rookie running back showed what all the fuss is about.
