Saquon Barkley has no problem with Ezekiel Elliott saying he believes he is the best running back in the NFL.
That doesn’t mean he agrees with him.
“I’m happy he said that,” Barkley said Thursday. “He believes he’s the best, I believe I’m the best. You ask Todd Gurley, he’s going to believe he’s the best. That’s how it should be.”
The two game-changing studs will get a chance to strut their stuff in front of each other Sunday, when the Giants and Cowboys open the season at AT&T Stadium. They will never be on the field at the same time, but the running backs who only need to go by one name — Saquon and Zeke — will always be going head-to-head in their quest to become the NFL’s best.
