Saquon Barkley, now with the Eagles, responded to a viral Hard Knocks clip featuring Giants owner John Mara expressing concern over losing him to the Eagles. On The Tonight Show, Barkley affirmed his positive relationship with the Giants, mentioning that many from the organization reached out after he won the Super Bowl. He dismissed the clip's implications, emphasizing that it doesn't define his feelings towards the Giants. Furthermore, he compared his career transition to Marshall Faulk’s, expressing his desire to be remembered as an Eagle after gaining All-Pro honors.
That clip doesn't really display my relationship I have with that organization from top to bottom. They are the people that brought me in.
After the game, so many guys and people from that organization reached out to me and were super happy, one, for my birthday and see me hold that Lombardi Trophy up.
Now I'm just trying to be remembered as an Eagle.
Barkley likened his situation to the one Marshall Faulk, who was drafted by the Colts and spent five years in Indianapolis before getting traded.
