Saquon Barkley's playoff performance with the Eagles casts a spotlight on the Giants’ miscalculations during and after his tenure. Drafted second overall in 2018, Barkley was considered a unique talent, yet his success was hampered by injuries and underwhelming use within the team. As he advanced deeper into the playoffs with Philadelphia, it became clear that the Giants failed to effectively support him or utilize his skills, illustrating a larger issue with their roster management and draft strategy.
If you do chart a different course, then you better make darn sure you build your team around that running back and not expect him to put on a cape and be a superhero.
The Giants – former general manager Dave Gettleman, specifically – went against that conventional wisdom because Gettleman viewed Barkley as a once-in-a-generation offensive weapon.
