CHARLOTTE, NC – OCTOBER 07: Saquon Barkley #26 of the New York Giants scores a 57-yard receiving touchdown from Odell Beckham Jr. #13 against the Carolina Panthers in the second quarter during their game at Bank of America Stadium on October 7, 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Saquon Barkley has been one of the best players in the NFL this 2018 regular season, showing off his absurd skills every week of the year.
Today is no different.
The former Penn State star running back has already scored a touchdown for the Giants this afternoon. He’s attempting to join an elite club, too.
“Saquon Barkley needs 191 yards from scrimmage to become the third rookie in NFL history to reach 2,000 yards, joining Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James.”
