You know, along with his incredible talent goes a humble personality. Whenever he is asked by the media about his remarkable play, he always acknowledges it but says that he still has a long way to go to become the player he wants to be. No chest-beating, ball-spiking, no throwing the ball into the stands, no disco dancing in the end zone after a touchdown or over the top end zone celebrations. He just trots up to the Back Judge and hands him the ball. Then he may do a chest bump with his teammates. He's good and he knows it but he doesn't show off to draw attention to himself. His parents did an outstanding job raising this fine young man. I'm very happy he's on our team and I hope that he retires a Giant. And that's my opinion.

He's a throwback and that is a good thing. However, I don't get your point of criticizing today's athletes for their celebrations. They are playing a game out there and games are supposed to be fun. I say let them have their fun.

I'm waiting for some official to throw a delay of game flag for the EZ "photo sessions". I'm merely contrasting his humble attitude with a lot of other players "Hey look at me" antics.

He's right that he still has things to learn and improve. He is doing so well right now based totally on his amazing physical and mental gifts. But he needs to learn when to stick with the north-south and that he cant always juke his way out of every situation. To understand that no gain is better than a 4 or 5 yard loss. And improve his blocking. But it's virtually a guarantee with his attitude the sky is the limit for him.

As good a player as he is he's improving week in and week out his attitude and willingness to take coaching a great attribute, this is one time I can say he might be better then advertised.

In the old forums, before the draft, I mentioned that I knew a kid that took a class with SB at Penn State. He is an Eagles fan and was hoping they would get Barkley. He raved about what a good level headed person Barkley is. That is showing to be very true. This kid is a great player and seems to be very level headed. The potential for greatness is there.

I love how he refuses to do the BS dance celebrations with OBJ when he scores. He kisses no one's butt. Great family upbringing right there. Not only does his incredible ability as a RB remind me of Barry Sanders but his humility & maturity when he scores a TD & just hands the ball to the ref, Barry did that as well. I can only imagine what this kid will do once we fix the OL.

Barkley is the best thing to happen to the NFL in years. He plays in the biggest media market, is a complete superstar, and couldn't be more humble and deserving of respect. He's a great change of pace compared to this Social Media crazed society where everyone only cares about promoting themselves. By far my favorite current player, and will eventually end up on my list of all-timers.

Big Fan of this kid! Early in the off-season I was hoping for Darnold but switched to Barkley by draft time. This kid is going to make NFL history!

I hope he remains healthy and the Giants don't run him into the ground, especially in this lost season. If he stays healthy I can see him breaking a lot of Tiki Barber's franchise records.
Definitely the kind of guy you want leading your team into this next decade of Giants football. As far as I'm concerned Gettleman got this one right.

I wanted us to draft Saquon Barkley and I'm glad that we did.

This kid is amazing. He is already ranked in the top 5 or 6 as a combo rb in the league. Kamara, Ewok , etc, the dude is on pace for 2000+ yds running / receiving as a rookie. As a rookie and with this O line. Unbelievable. Please go Oline again in the draft!!!!

I like Barkley, but he lets others use him when it comes to credit cards.

In just his 11th NFL game as a Giants RB, he is already #49 on the all time Giants rushing list & will be in the low 30s by seasons end when he hits that 1200-1300 yd rushing mark. Should he rush for 1300-1500yd mark next yr, he would jump all the way to #12 all time & by season 3 with another 1300-1500 yd season, he could be in the top 5!

I live in coplay pa and have known saquon and his mother for some time. He is as athletically gifted as he is a good person even dating back to his hokendauqua youth football days. Can't say enough how lucky the Giants are to have him. Only other player i would have taken in that draft is mayfield, who obviously was gone already.

Barkley reminds me of Mark Bavaro. There is no higher compliment!
