New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, who is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract, is tired of hearing the rumors and rumblings regarding his NFL future.
“I’m just tired of whatever is written about me, the BS that’s said about me or this team,” Barkley told reporters at the Giants’ offseason training session on Wednesday. “I want to go out there and prove to this organization that the player they drafted is still there, I can still do special things with the ball in my hands, and I can help this team.
“One thing I’ve learned is the story that’s going to be told is people are going to shape it the way they want it to be told. I feel like there’s a lot of things that are left out.”
