Saquon Barkley Looks Jacked in Latest Workout Video
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is a physical freak with a gaudy mix of size, speed and agility. An ACL tear in Week 2 of the 2020 season ended his year, though, and the Giants' offense sputtered without him. New York has invested in its weapons this season to better surround Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones. The Kenny Golladay signing headlined a busy offseason focused on reinforcements.
New York's reloaded roster has them thinking playoffs in 2021 -- and potentially more. They're a sleeper pick at +5000 on WynnBET to win next's year Super Bowl. Owner John Mara is bullish on his team's chances given the roster upgrades and Barkley's long-awaited return.
A recent workout video featuring the running back shows the nightmare opponents will hope to stop next season.
Barkley looks jacked during his rehab from the ACL tear. He seems focused on not missing a beat when he returns to the field.
The dual-threat from Penn State made a statement in his rookie year. He rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 TDs while adding another 721 yards and 4 scores through the air. His 2,028 yards from scrimmage led the entire league and helped him capture Offensive Rookie of the Year. He then amassed nearly 1,500 all-purpose yards in 2019 along with 8 total TDs.
Barkley's presence will be a huge addition to an offense ready to take the next step. New York finally brought in a true WR1 in Golladay. He headlines a receiving corps that features Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram and new-arrival Kyle Rudolph.
This is a big year for the Giants' future. Barkley is entering the fourth year of his rookie deal and the Giants need to decide if they're going to pick up his fifth-year option. The pressure is on. He's looking fit ahead of his return.
