Sorry Saquon, Gettleman sets up New York Giants expectations
Former New York Giants head coach Bill Parcells used to lament about rookies, “let’s not put him in Canton on roller skates”.
For several different reasons, Parcells had a point of reference on this discussion. Of particular note was the fact that he presided over the career over the greatest New York Giants player in franchise history. His name was Lawrence Taylor, and he also happens to be the greatest draft pick in team history.
That much is fact.
Whether or not No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley surpasses Taylor remains a very open question. It will take at least a decade, if not more, to decide.
