The biggest issue that affected New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is the injuries that he sustained last season. He missed three games early in the season, preventing him from fully making his mark on the team and helping them win a couple of games.
He now has a chance to improve on his second season by working himself to sleep. Since he needs to stay indoors in lieu to the coronavirus pandemic, he has all the time in the world to focus on strengthening his body and improving himself.
An SNY TV video of the running back lifting weights is making rounds online, and it's reminding everyone just how elite of a passing talent Barkley is. It's not wrong to assume that he's lifting at least 400 pounds in the footage.
In case you forgot, @saquon isn't human.

The 23-year-old running back is not only working on his strength. He's also bonding with former Penn State teammate Miles Sanders by training on the hills. The explosive athleticism that made him an elite running back is evident in the Overtime video.

In spite of missing three games due to injury, he put up an impressive season. He finished 2019 with 1003 rushing yards and six touchdowns per carry. Expect to see a more explosive Barkley to power through opponents for the Giants in September.
