Giants’ Devin Singletary on following Saquon Barkley: ‘just gonna be me’
NY Post
Devin Singletary was not the second-overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Brandon Beane, the Bills general manager, didn’t gush that Singletary was touched by the hand of God when he selected him with the 74th pick in the third round out of Florida Atlantic University. He didn’t envision him as a Gold Jacket Guy.
It is six years later and all the Giants are asking of Devin Singletary is to fill the giant shoes of Saquon Barkley — the second pick of the 2018 NFL draft.
P-p-p-p-pressure? What pressure?
“I’ve been in the league just like him … he’s only been in the league a year before me. … I feel like I’m a playmaker like him, so … I’m just gonna be me,” Singletary told The Post. “It’s been going well for me since I’ve been in the league, so that’s what I’m gonna keep doing.”
For what it’s worth, Singletary’s 4.6 yard per carry career average is higher than Barkley’s 4.3. Brian Daboll is hoping it’s worth something after Eagles coach Nick Sirianni volunteered that he responds to heckling Giants fans with: “We got your best player.”
A straight-faced Daboll, asked about it, said: “I love Giants fans.”
