NEW YORK — To say Saquon Barkley is excited for new Giants tackle Evan Neal is an understatement.
“Evan Neal, he’s a physical specimen,” Barkley said Tuesday night at the United Way of New York City 29th annual Gridiron Gala at The Glasshouse in Midtown Manhattan. “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?
“I saw him and was like I would not be mad if we would pick him up,” the running back said with a smile. “I didn’t know he was gonna drop that far (to No. 7 overall), but great. I’m glad he’s on our team.”
