Saquon Barkley spotted wearing Giants hoodie ahead of draft

Did Saquon Barkley just drop a Giant hint?

The projected top running back in this month’s draft was spotted at a Pennsylvania barber shop recently wearing a hooded Giants sweatshirt, according to photos captured by TMZ. Barkley has been linked to the Giants in the run-up to the draft on April 26, with GM Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur both indicating he would be worthy of the No. 2 pick.

It was likely a coincidence Barkley wore the sweatshirt, which the Giants reportedly gifted him during his pre-draft visit, but the timing raised eyebrows.

"It was likely a coincidence Barkley wore the sweatshirt..."

A coincidence? Hell no! Every move he makes is done with his agent's knowledge and approval. Being drafted by the Giants means he is taken #2 and that's a lot of money. If he isn't taken at #2, we all know the Jets are going QB at #3. So if the Giants pass, he is slipping to #4 (or lower). That means a lot less money for Mr. Barkley.

My opinion is that he wore the hoodie because he wants to be drafted by the Giants and the main reason he wants that is because it's more money than being drafted by the Browns.

It's all about the money.
I was wearing one as well

Working in the yard yesterday. Should I be expecting a call from the Giants.

Even at my age I can still throw it pretty well, especially those Nerff footballs
I would not be shocked if he's the guy

Bringing in a couple of high profile, high character guys like him and Solder can be transformational
Yeah exactly...

Its not coincidence he is not an idiot. He’s spoken to his agent about possible scenarios. He definitely doesn’t want to drop to 4 or further and I’m sure he would love to play for the Giants especially being from the area. Hes aware of the history of the team, the organization, the fans. Im sure he would love any NFL job since that is a dream for anyone but seriously if he had his choice between the Browns and the Giants...its not a choice at all.
Millions of reasons to want to be drafted 2nd rather than 4th.

The Giants..

have a real dilemma!!

Do they draft a guy because he wears their hoodie, or do they force a QB pick so they don't get embarrassed by the Jets possibly picking an even better QB??

If Darnold starts wearing Eagle gear, we could be fucked!!
More like he wants to be drafted #1 and wants the Browns to be spooked

So the Browns don’t wait till #4 to take him.
No clue why

Anybody is making a big deal about this. Every player that visits the team and any team is given apparel. He just chose to wear this one in public. It means absolutely nothing.

He also probably doesn't want to play for the Browns and get Trent Richardsoned.
