The reasons New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley will be nastier in 2019

At this point, most New York Giants fans can agree it was the right move to select running back Saquon Barkley No. 2 overall in 2018.

Some thought that Big Blue should’ve gone with a quarterback such as Sam Darnold, but passing up on a generational talent like Barkley is a tough chore. The Giants running back proved in his rookie season that he’s on his way to having a spectacular career.

In his inaugural season in the pros, the former Penn State Nittany Lion rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns.
