New York Giants: RB Saquon Barkley

The 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year rolled up 2,208 yards from scrimmage and 15 TDs during his debut campaign but missed three contests this past year. In 13 outings, he still managed 1,441 scrimmage yards and reached the end zone eight times. That’s 3,469 yards from scrimmage and 23 touchdowns in 29 outings.

New York Jets: RB Frank Gore

It’s the latest stop for the 15-year veteran and the third-leading rusher in NFL history with 15,347 yards. Ageless Frank Gore signed with the New York Jets this offseason and hopes to make life easier for quarterback Sam Darnold and fellow running back Le’Veon Bell. He will be playing for his fourth different team in as many seasons.

Philadelphia Eagles: DT Fletcher Cox

He’s been a steady force along the Eagles’ defensive front and has missed only three games in eight seasons. Interior presence Fletcher Cox has been named to each of the last five Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro accolades in 2018. The 12th overall pick in 2012 has amassed 48 sacks and recovered 11 fumbles, returning two for scores.
