CINCINNATI – It may not be enough to earn him the Nobel Peace Prize, but Giants running back Saquon Barkley did play a role in the accord between teammate Daniel Jones and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield this week.
Barkley, who became friendly with Mayfield as the two were finalists for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award last year, said the Browns quarterback texted him to make sure that his apology texts to Jones were received.
“Baker reached out to me,” Barkley said on Thursday night after the Giants’ 25-17 preseason win over the Bengals (Barkley did not play in the game).
