Big weekend for Saquon Barkley
It was a big weekend for Penn State alumni Saquon Barkley as well
After almost a year, Saquon Barkley made his much anticipated return to the National Football League. While the performance of the New York Giants left much to be desired, Barkley simply returning to the field was a small victory.
The second overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown. Additionally, he caught four passes — accumulating 90 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Following the game, the former Penn State star counted his blessings.
“I feel pretty good. It’s not my normal workload,” Barkley said via ProFootballTalk. “Usually, I’d probably have a lot more plays, but that’s all I’m saying. Obviously, we didn’t get the win. We’ve got go back, watch film, address it and get better for next week.”
