5 biggest things we’ve learned about the NY Giants this summer

3. Saquon Barkley will be a force once again

On a more positive note, Barkley has been nothing short of impressive this offseason. Between showcasing a slender look and clearly playing with confidence, everything has really looked great for No. 26. Now, however, we’ve got to wait and see how everything goes during the regular season, with Week 1 almost here.

It goes without saying, but it’s been a rough couple of years for Barkley. He tore his ACL in 2020 and the hope was that he’d be able to return with a bang last season. It looked like he lost a step throughout 2021 and the production wasn’t there. The fact that he played behind one of the worst offensive lines in the game didn’t help either.

Now, though, Barkley is also behind a new o-line just like Jones. They’ll be ready to open up huge holes for him and help the speedster make an impact for Daboll and new offensive coordinator Mike Kafka. It remains to be seen just how good Barkley can be this year, but Big Blue nation has a ton of faith in him and rightfully so.
