| Q: I’m Giants general manager Dave Gettleman. Tell me why I should draft Saquon Barkley with the second pick. A: That’s a great question. You can ask teammates, you can ask people close to me, people around me … you’re gonna get a guy who’s passionate about the game. I feel that’s very important … loves the sport of football. I feel like I have a great work ethic … a leader. Definitely a competitor. I hate losing. A guy who’s willing to do anything to win. I want to be one of the best. Q: Visualize what it would be like playing with Odell Beckham Jr. A: That would be special. I admire Odell’s game. He’s a walking highlight. Everyone knows the one-handed plays, but he can catch a slant and take it 80 yards. Not only Odell, [Sterling] Shepard, the tight end [Evan Engram], they’re all special, they’re all talented. If I was fortunate enough to get drafted to a team like the Giants, I feel like if I was able to have the success that I had in college, I feel like that would be a good fit. But there, you add a running game, it’s like, what can you do on the defensive side of the ball? You have a veteran, established quarterback, Eli Manning, who’s proven himself, won two Super Bowls, that you know the guy’s gonna get the job done. It would be special to learn from guys like him and Odell. Obviously, any team that drafts me, I feel like that’s a good fit. Q: What do you know about LT? A: My dad is a fan of football, too, and did a good job of making me understand the history of football. I did a lot of research on my own watching NFL Films and them doing life stories and watching YouTube videos. That guy was a bruiser, man. He was ridiculous. He’ll hit you in the mouth. He was fast off the edge. I remember watching a clip of him beating a tackle so quick, he broke Joe Theismann’s leg. |
Why should the Giants draft you?
“Ask my teammates.”
Remember Gettleman saying at his introductory PC - that he doesn’t want players that want to win, he wants players that hate to lose.
That and you win stopping the run, rushing the passer and running the ball
Barkley fits within DG‘s vision.....imo
He was For a day. The next day a reporter told him all about the real LT. Henceforth he was known as LdT.
With Barkley they go 5-11 or 6-10
3rd. Roger Craig and Faulk did it.
You realize he had the most "missed tackles" last year right?

Of course he doesn’t, he’s Stan the troll. Just ignore him, don’t give him the attention he seeks.
