Offensive Player of the Year: Saquon Barkley

Last season, Saquon Barkley showed the entire NFL how good he was, racking up over 1,300 rushing yards and 2,000 total yards on a bad team.

This year, Barkley missed three games due to a high ankle sprain, and yet, he still finished with 1,002 rushing yards on 217 carries with six touchdowns. He also had 52 receptions for 428 yards and two touchdowns, which gave him 1,430 total yards and eight touchdowns.

Fans can only wonder how good his numbers would have been if he didn’t miss those three games due to injury or had better blocking in front of him.

It’s so clear that Barkley is not only the best player on the Giants, but he’s one of, if not the best running back in the NFL.
