MIAMI BEACH, Fla. _ Jason Garrett spoke with Saquon Barkley on the phone shortly after he'd been hired as the Giants' new offensive coordinator.
"One of the first things he told me was: 'You know I like to run the ball, right?' " Barkley told Newsday on Wednesday on Radio Row at Super Bowl LIV. "I was like: 'For sure I already know that. I've been on the other side of that for the last two years watching Zeke.' "
Barkley said he has yet to speak with Ezekiel Elliott about Garrett, who was the coach of the Cowboys for the past nine-and-a-half seasons, but he has heard plenty of good things from others around the league about his new play-caller. And, he said, he's excited to start hearing some more concrete ideas about how the Giants plan to deploy him.
