When New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley first laid eyes on offensive tackle Evan Neal, his only thought was that they were filming Game of Thrones in East Rutherford.
While attending the United Way of New York City 29th annual Gridiron Gala at The Glasshouse in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday evening, Barkley recalled that first encounter.
“Evan Neal, he’s a physical specimen,” Barkley said, via the New York Daily News. “He came for the draft top 30 visit. All the draft people kinda were by my locker. He was there and I was like, ‘oh my God, who is that?’
