Saquon Barkley – A Rising Star in the NFL

Saquon Barkley – A Rising Star in the NFL Saquon Barkley is one of the most exciting players in the NFL right now, and for good reason. He’s got the speed, the power, and the agility to leave defenders in the dust, but he's also got a personality that makes you root for him, even if you're not a Giants fan. Born on February 9, 1997, Saquon grew up in the small town of Coplay, Pennsylvania. It didn’t take long for everyone to realize that this kid was special. With legs like tree trunks and the speed of a gazelle (seriously, he runs like someone’s chasing him with a giant donut), it was obvious he had a future in football. But even as a young athlete, he kept things pretty grounded. No big-headed attitudes here, just a guy who loves the game.
