Undoubtedly, the New York Giants emerge as a stronger team when Saquon Barkley is on the field.

Barkley’s aspiration for a long-term extension reflects the loyalty he has shown to the Giants over the years, in spite of consecutive losing seasons and several coaching changes. The 2022 season saw Barkley deliver another impressive performance, amassing 1,312 rushing yards, 338 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns.
