There may be no better barometer for “making it” in the sports world than appearing in a “This is SportsCenter” commercial. Saquon Barkley has made it. The Giants running back appears in the latest version of the long-running ad campaign for ESPN, with his incarnation debuting Friday, Sept. 6.
In it, he is attending a meeting in a conference room that is interrupted by continuous comments about the size of his legs. Barkley filmed the commercial over the summer. He told Newsday that he filmed two different commercials for the network, this one and another in an office setting.
