The running back spent the first six years of his NFL career with the New York Giants, who drafted him second overall in 2018 but left for their division rivals, the Eagles, in the offseason.
PHILADELPHIA – Maybe you heard…Saquon Barkley is returning to North Jersey to play the team that drafted him second overall and where he spent the first six years of his career.
The elite running back will play against the New York Giants for the first time in his life, and will do so with the Eagles, who signed him to a three-year contract in the offseason. The game is not in primetime or being televised nationally. It didn’t even draw FOX’s top broadcasting crew. It’s about the same low-key approach way Barkley is taking.
