Saquon Barkley is set for his NFL playoff debut on Sunday against the Vikings
Barkley and the Giants have earned the opportunity to be on the stage that turns performance into greatness.There were injuries and frustration as seemingly nothing went right, casting doubt over Barkley's future with the Giants beyond this season, let alone if he could be the same playmaker that took the league by storm as a rookie.
The production matters, of course. So does his health, as Barkley started the Giants' first 16 games, playing through a shoulder injury he sustained in London against the Packers, and then a stinger suffered in practice last month. Greg Joseph and the Vikings wound up ruining the party by drilling a 61-yard field goal to prevail as time expired, but Barkley walked off the field that day believing Big Blue would get another shot at Minnesota. This is that shot.
The 25-year-old Barkley was the best player on the practice field from the moment the offseason program began, and under Brian Daboll and the new coaching staff, he was finally featured in all the ways the Giants have promised in the past. He looked healthy, fresh and explosive, and confident in how he was moving with the football in his hands.
