Running back Saquon Barkley has yet to play a down in the NFL, but he’s already one of its most popular players in the league. Barkley was drafted as the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the New York Giants after deciding to forego his senior season in Happy Valley.
He was the highest running back selected since Trent Richardson was taken No. 3 overall in 2012. The last running back taken with the No. 2 pick was Reggie Bush in 2006.
Barkley brings a lot of hype with him to the NFL and is set to settle in as the top man in the backfield for the Giants.
