The Giants let Saquon Barkley walk in free agency a year ago, a decision many perceived as the result of the way the franchise - and much of the NFL - values running backs. There was a time when the Giants stood on the other side of the great running back debate,

In Philadelphia's playoff win against the Rams, in which Barkley had 62 and 78-yard touchdown runs, Barkley ran over 20 mph on each play, reaching a max speed of 20.78 mph.

Had the Giants decided to match Barkley’s free-agent contract offer from the Eagles last March, he would’ve re-signed to continue what he started.
