Saquon Barkley is the Giants fastest player. On Barkley's 59-yard run against the Cowboys, Saquon reached a top speed of 21.76 miles per hour, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. He is the fifth-fastest player in the NFL. Darius Slayton is not ranked in the top 20.
Barkley's size-speed ratio is remarkable.
He's fast, but it's probably pretty close on offense.
I'd put money in a foot race on Barkley.

When has Slayton been streaking down the field on his own running for a TD? There is a reason everyone on the team talks about Slaytons speed, he is probably the fastest guy on the team.

But I'd still take Barkley.
In a 40 yard dash, Barkley is more explosive getting off the line, I think.
It also depends on the distance. As someone mentioned, Barkley probably has a better burst and the Slayton catches him at about 30 yards..
What's remarkable about Barkley isn't his top speed, but his ability to get himself into situations where he can show it.

Easily is a relative term.
Watch it. Uwazie has a five to eight yard head start and the angle. Barkley has to cut left to the sideline and then get back in gear as he cuts right downfield.

The Dallas DB was recorded at just under 23 mph the fastest recorded in the NFL since 2017.
