When New York Giants‘ star running back Saquon Barkley went down with a high ankle sprain in week three of the regular season, he would never return to his usual form until the final few weeks of the campaign.
Going eight consecutive games without reaching the 100-yard mark, Barkley suffered what some call a “sophomore slump,” and while the injury might have played a significant part in his demise, he will never admit it.
Check out this awesome hype video Barkley posted via Instagram.
The final three weeks of the 2019 season, though, Barkley exploded onto the scene, racking up 393 total yards and four total touchdowns, eclipsing the first three-quarters of his tumultuous campaign.
The expectations are high for Barkley entering 2020, especially with a new head coach entering the mix and an offensive coordinator that will hopefully maximize his abilities. However, this video will show you why he’s preparing to return with a vengeance.
