When watching Saquon Barkley play for the New York Giants, it's hard not to notice his legs that are the size of tree trunks. With the Super Bowl just a few days away, Barkley vows not to miss a leg day in the offseason.
“A lot of people love my legs. I get a lot of compliments on it,” the Giants back said, via ProFootballTalk. “That’s what I’m going to get back to this year. I kind of got away from it last year,” he said. “Not crazy, like how I was in college, but that’s how I got to where I am. That’s who I am. Why turn away from it?”
Since his days at Penn State, Barkley has always been known to spend most of his time in the weight room. But prior to his second season in the NFL, Barkley alludes to doing fewer leg workouts in the offseason for the Giants.

Despite the injury, Saquon Barkley still ended the season with 1,003 rushing yards on 217 carries and six touchdowns for the Giants. To go along with his rushing numbers, he also caught 52 passes for 438 yards and another two scores.
Without a doubt, Barkley is the most dynamic weapon that the Giants have on offense. As good as he's been in his first two seasons, it appears that Barkley is focused on getting even better for 2020.
