Saquon Barkley is dragging the Philadelphia Eagles on his back these days. He shouldn’t have time to look over the fence to see how his former team, the New York Giants, is doing.
Yet, he does.
Barkley is doing his thing down the turnpike, leading the NFL in rushing, and is second in total yards from scrimmage through three weeks.
But he’s keeping a keen eye on the Giants and their new star, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers. Barkley gave a Sunday night shout-out to Nabers on X following the Week 3 action.
Ya gonna hate on it… but idc!!! He’s LIKE THAT!! 😤😤😤 https://t.co/EnbiUjF8zu

Barkley couldn’t ignore the impact Nabers has made thus far on his former team. The rookie is shattering records by the week.

The Giants and Eagles don’t face one another for another month — Week 7 (October 20) at MetLife Stadium. As we have seen already this season, a lot could happen in a short span.
Let’s see if Barkley is still as enthusiastic once he gets to see Nabers perform in person.
