It might not help him in his negotiations for a long-term contract, but Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants has been ranked the No. 4 running back in the NFL by an ESPN panel of more than 80 executives, coaches, scouts and players.
The three backs ahead of Barkley are Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns, Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers and Josh Jacobs of the Las Vegas Raiders.
ESPN says:
Barkley realized the enormous potential that the league long saw for him in 2022.
