The New York Giants lost Saquon Barkley in NFL free agency, as the veteran running back signed with the rival Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. Instead, the Giants brought in running back Devin Singletary, who is replacing Barkley on the roster in more ways than one.
At his introductory press conference, Singletary revealed that he would be wearing the No. 26, the same number Barkley wore over the past six seasons. However, it is not meant to troll Barkley, as Singletary maintains that he just always wants to wear No. 26 wherever he plays.
“I had 26 since I came into the league, so that’s the number I’m sticking with,” Singletary said.
