The Pittsburgh Steelers are almost definitely looking at the Giants roster with one name circled a bunch of times and a ton of comments and notes below that name. Saquon Barkley is electric. Per ProFootballReference, he has accumulated over 2,300 yards rushing and 1,100 yards receiving in 29 games. He has also tallied up over 23 total touchdowns.

Now that the Giants have added Jason Garrett as an offensive coordinator you can expect the Giants to be centering the entire offense around Barkley again this year. Don’t forget that while being the head coach of the cowboys Jason Garrett fed Zeke the ball over 350 times in each season he played more than 10 games per ProFootballReference.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have to be focused and ready to take on one of the best skill players in the entire NFL in week 1 without question. Barkley can take any play to the house and he does it quite a lot. A lot of eyes are going to be on how the Steelers plan on containing him in week 1.
