If the New York Giants intend to go on another unlikely deep postseason run, they’ll need their best offensive player to be 100% locked in.
Fortunately for them, that seems to be the case with superstar RB Saquon Barkley, who’s finally back to full strength after some injury-riddled seasons.
The Penn State product was fairly efficient this season, turning back the clock and proving that he’s still one of the best in the game in that position.
However, he’s still far from satisfied and doesn’t even have time to celebrate after upsetting the Minnesota Vikings on the road, as he was quite focused on watching film during the team’s flight back home.
Barkley was so locked in on the screen that he couldn’t even hear his teammate teasing him, nor did he seem to care once he realized that he was being filmed.

Job’s not finished mentality.

Notably, the Giants now have a very tough matchup ahead of them, as they’ll travel to Philadelphia for a Divisional Round clash with the Eagles.
Needless to say, there won’t be all that much Brotherly Love for the divisional rivals when the G-Men arrive at Lincoln Financial Field, so it’s nice to know that Barkley cannot be fazed by any of the outside noise.
Throughout the season, Barkley started 16 games and rushed 295 times for 1,312 yards (4.4 yards per carry) and ten touchdowns, adding 57 receptions for 338 yards on a 75.0% catch percentage.
So, don’t bother SaQuads while he studies.
You’re gonna need him at his absolute best once Saturday night comes.
