Saquon Barkley bursts through a running lane and sets his sights on a hard-charging Xavier McKinney as the last obstacle to pay dirt.
A scene pulled from Giants training camps gone by is likely to play out at some point Friday night when Barkley and McKinney make their respective Eagles and Packers debuts head-to-head in the first-ever NFL game played in Brazil as part of a four-day Week 1.
Barkley and McKinney spent four years as teammates — separated by just a few stalls in the locker room — and were voted Giants co-captains a combined seven times.Giants’ offensive line overhaul banking on Raiders Way The Post surveyed the Giants locker room to find out what is going to happen the first time that Barkley and McKinney meet in the open field as opponents.
“Saquon is probably going to try to run him over once, and if that doesn’t work out, then he’ll try to juke him,” cornerback Adoree’ Jackson said. “Whoever wins the first one, it’s going to be good to see what the second rep looks like — just knowing those two as competitors. And then each one after that is going to be a battle.”
