WATCH: New York Giants star Saquon Barkley is poised to have a bounce-back season

Mar. 21, 2023 – 01:46 – With the exception of Daniel Jones, no other New York Giant is under pressure to perform at a high level this season than Saquon Barkley. The 2018 second-overall pick is in the final year of his contract, and there’s a cloud of uncertainty regarding his future with Big Blue. Many feel this will be his final season with New York, and that he could be possibly dealt before the in-season NFL trade deadline. If you flashed back three years ago, no one would’ve envisioned the situation that Barkley is currently in. He had over 2,000 all-purpose yards, tied a rookie franchise record for receptions in a season (91), and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of The Year. But then Barkley’s career was derailed by injuries. A sprained ankle caused him to miss three games in 2019 and hampered him all season long. Then, a torn ACL in 2020 forced him to miss the final 14 games. While trying to work his way back from his ACL tear last season, he suffered a sprained ankle in the Giants Week 5 44-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys that caused him to miss four games.
