Saquon Barkley is unsure himself why exactly over the final 30 yards of a 78-yard scoring burst through the playoff snow in a run that whipped Philadelphia Eagles fans out of their frigid state and into a frenzy he cradled the football in his left hand and repeatedly smacked his helmet with his right hand.

One such hope was that the New York Giants would gain a mid-round pick for losing running back Saquon Barkley. The face of the franchise signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and is a win away from the Super Bowl. New York, of course, won three games.

From Whitehall High School to the NFL, teammates of Saquon Barkley are left in awe of his ability and motivated by his selflessness.
