New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had a phenomenal rookie year in 2018 and may very well win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award on Saturday night.

However, as great as he was this year, he wants to be even better in 2019.

“Now I am just thinking how can I improve on that and build on that,” Barkley said of his rookie season, according to Tom Rock of Newsday. “How can I help translate that into more wins for the team? All of those things were great, but now I just have to elevate my game to another level.”

Barkley played in all 16 games this past season, rushing for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging five yards per carry. In addition, he hauled in 91 receptions for 721 yards and four scores.

The 21-year-old said he was asked by San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman what his goals were for his sophomore campaign, and Barkley replied that he wanted to “elevate my game.”

However, Sherman said he should also try and elevate everyone else's games around him at the same time.

“That stuck with me and made so much sense,” Barkley said of Sherman's advice. “I want to grow more as a leader. When you are there, it is not just about elevating yourself. Obviously you want to elevate your game and take it to another level but you want to elevate the people around you and challenge them at the same time. That builds great team and chemistry to win games.”
