Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and running back Saquon Barkley played together for two seasons before Manning's 2019 retirement from the NFL. The two remain close, to the point where Manning has admitted that he'd like to see Barkley win Sunday's Super Bowl (even though he struggles to embrace the rival Eagles as a whole).
Barkley's status as a college superstar and No. 2 pick by the Giants didn't prevent him from being on the receiving end of a classic Manning prank early in his career, however.
