When New York Giants Daniel Jones told the media that Saquon Barkley is always working hard and "always going to be in good shape," he was telling it straight up.
Or maybe he is trying to be modest based on a viral video of him running, lifting double his own weights. Barefoot.

People in the quote tweets cannot help but be in awe of Barkley's strength. One said he's built in a lab, while the other said this regiment would make the player harder to tackle this new season.

Other people are just being trolls and instantly connected the clip to Barkley's future, with the Giants saying he's having a hard time with the weight. Therefore, he does not deserve an extension.
Impasse on Barkley, Giants' new contract
Barkley entered the last year of his rookie contract, and on March 7, the team attached the non-exclusive franchise tag to him, which binds the player to the team for one more year if conditions are met.
The negotiations resumed two weeks ago, and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport claimed the two parties are on track to sign a favorable new deal for both.
"Talks are back on between the Giants and Saquon Barkley. Now, we'll see if they can get to a point where he could become one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL," Rapoport wrote on the NFL website last June 20.
"At the very least, Saquon Barkley is expected to be back with the Giants on a one-year fully guaranteed tag. It's just a matter of whether he's going to get the security that he wants. Time will tell on that one."
